For most of the almost 3 years we have lived in Idaho, we have been wanting to visit the great Packsaddle Lake. We did try once to make it there on our own, but our little car is not built for the mountains of Idaho and couldn't make it. :( Our first (and only) solo attempt turned into just a long drive both ways, because there was an ENORMOUS puddle in a sharp valley in the road. After we saw the truck in front of us go through it, we realized that there was no way our little car would make it and we had to turn around. There were no other roads to the lake on the instructions we were following or on Google Maps - but we hear that has since been updated!
And so - this weekend a work colleague of Davis' and his lovely wife invited us to go with them to hike and fish around Packsaddle Lake! The weather was PERFECT for hiking, our friends' vehicle, sturdy as it looks, is even sturdier than it looks, and Davis caught his first Idaho trout before his fishing license was even a day old! What a champ.
Isn't the lake beautiful? We are sure loving getting to know the beautiful land of Idaho better.
