Spent last week backcountry flying/camping/fishing in Idaho. First on the Selway at Shearer and had the place to ourselves for 3 days. Then Fish Lake and spent the last night at the new Big Creek Lodge. I highly recommend it, great way to finish a camping trip.

Bubba and I spent a couple days fishing and hiking at Bernard in the Frank Church. Plane was great, cant wait to get back up there.
