I went to Boise a few weeks ago to surprise Jessica for her birthday. Surprisingly, I did a good job of keeping the secret and we had a great weekend! I got to meet Lync, Jessica's new cat, who really loved my suitcase
Hanging out by the Boise River
I got some of her friends together for a surprise get together on Saturday night
On Sunday, Cozette, Tia Missy, Jessica and I drove a few hours north to go huckleberry picking. I was excited to see a part of Idaho that I had never seen. It was beautiful!
This forest burned a few years ago so most of the bark was peeling off the trees
We had a picnic beside this creek
The huckleberries proved to be very elusive. We searched for hours, it seemed. We had been told they were everywhere, but we couldn't find any. What we DID find was a blue tick coonhound! In the middle of nowhere in Idaho. His owner lived on a horse ranch in what appeared to be a Yurt. He had never heard of the famous bluetick, Smokey. He even has an orange collar!
Finally we found huckleberries! These berries sell for $15/quart and they cannot be bought fresh. They are basically Idaho's version of a blueberry.
