Red Takes over for PAC MAN
« on: June 05, 2015, 07:18:28 AM »
For obvious reasons :)

Our first trip out this year we headed about 70 miles into the backcountry of Northern Idaho and the Bitterroot Wilderness area . This is the country Lewis and Clark struggled to cross in the winter and almost starved to death . This station sits at what would be the jumping off point for anyone wanting to head into the backcountry . The Forest Service keeps there pack horses and back country crews housed here in Wall Tents just across the river . I stayed at the Rangers Cabin and in between fishing and hiking I got a few cooks in .















Second night I cooked up a pork sirloin roast planked on cedar , I had some instant potatoes and made potato cakes by adding an egg white .



My last night I cooked a up a steak











I was hiking a trail along the river looking for fishing spots. I noticed a huge meadow full of yellow flowers down below me and then spotted the Bear feeding on the flowers . I watched it for quite a while and then it slowly moved on .

Fantastic! Of course the kettle looks great, but what a refreshing trip that must have been! Pull anything out of the river?

Oh my. That looks like a splendid little trip you had Idahawk. All the Kettle shots are beauty and that shot of the rod tip and line is fantastic.

@Saugust   I didn't catch a thing. When I saw the bear I was actually up a side stream trying to at least catch a Brook Trout for supper.... If I had to survive. On fish I'd be dead :)

Wonderful. With all the "where's Waldo" shots of the kettle moving around I wanted to see it by the river's edge with fishing pole sticking out of it, "fishing."

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Mac looks right at home in the wilderness.  Great pics!

Nice to see you didn't cover it up … After all, it's just a little water.  8) ;)

Maybe it would have actually caught something :)

My kind of vacation. Beautiful pics, country, cooks, kettle!

I once drove Rt 93 from Craters of the Moon to Missoula, not too far away.

(Btw, thanks for omitting the bedroom scene pics)    :o

Awesome photos Ida, and the location looks unreal.

And really, how can you blame the bear?? One smell of that kettle-licious food and I'd come a runnin' too 8)
