Bridget, Reggie, and I leave Murdock Campground. It’s time to go boondocking!
Big Wood River in Sawtooth National Forest, north of Ketchum, Idaho

The forest road from Route 75 to our boondock

An unoccupied trailer (above) holds a spot for the owner’s next visit to the river
~ ~ ~
We cross a dry river bed to our new camp!

Another claim. This one next to a small beach. No one there during the week.

Our campsite (photo taken from the river bank)

A picturesque reading room and the crew’s playroom

Early morning sunlight on the river at our camp

Reggie’s first duty of the day: patrolling the campsite!

Downstream from our camp

Late afternoon walk (photo taken before forest fire smoke arrived)

Fragile grassland, verdant riverside, majestic mountains

The smoky view from the beach (photo taken the next day)

The mountains farthest away to the north (at left in photo) are completely obscured.

The morning the crew and I leave this beautiful place, nothing but smoke is visible beyond the line of green trees (photo taken previously).
~ ~ ~
A brief, relaxing, and memorable camp along the Big Wood River!

The crew and I make a dash for cleaner air and we meet an interesting person along the way!
