Merri Ann and I love to hike. Last night, we picked a trail high above Spenser, Idaho not far from the Continental Divide.
We drove to the end of the road and then hiked up the canyon until we got above the trees and could see over the ranges to the west. It was magnificent and . . . lonely country.
Three times on the way out, we saw elk.
Merri Ann has a coated plastic tarp that we use for a picnic blanket. Instead of sandwiches, we pack wraps. We keep the perishables cool with "Blue Ice" packs. We have plenty of iced water in insulated metal canteens.
