City of Rocks.

2/15/13

Nate and I made a little trip to Boise this weekend so I could go to Brooke's bridal shower!!!! It was so fun, she is so cute, and I am soooo sad I won't get to be here for the wedding!

Since we knew this was one of our last trips to Idaho we decided we had better live it up! We detoured off the freeway and just took the backroads. It was so much fun and such a change from the monotonous freeway drive! We enjoyed the different scenery and for the most part being the only car on the road! We drove through no name towns with abandoned buildings, past open fields of nothing, and followed all the old wooden signs we could find, finally making it to our destination, the City of Rocks!

Since our decision to venture there was a last minute freeway exit, neither of us was dressed or prepared in anyway to go climbing over big boulders but we toughed it out anyway! My favorite part of this little excursion was thinking we were the only ones crazy enough to try to make it up there in the snow! That being said we had gone halfway up to the campsites and only seen one other car. We both had to pee REALLY bad so we finally just pulled over and went for it. I still had clear vision of the road and yelled to Nate "wouldn't it be funny it a car drove by right now and they totally saw us peeing?!" Nate didn't think it would be so funny...and looked up and saw 3 snowshoers going right on by! We sure mast have given them a show! As we continued up the hill we came across a whole parking lot of cars snowshoeing around! There is a fairly decent chance we were seen by more than 3 people. Oh, and there were functioning restrooms in this parking lot. Ooops. Oh well!

We had a lot of fun driving the backroads and climbing the rocks!

We also saw a TON of deer just wandering around and hanging out in Almo, they were ALL over and so close! It was awesome!
