Aired Down NW Pre-Summer
Spring is weird in Idaho. It seemed like it would never stop snowing. Then we had thunderstorms. Now it’s summer.
Was that spring? I don’t even know.
But in all that confusion I skipped the Spring Issue of Aired Down Northwest. Instead, enjoy the Pre-Summer Aired Down Newsletter.

Pre Summer Camping on the South Fork
The South Fork of the Boise River, somewhere between the Blacks Creek exit and Anderson Dam, is one of my favorite places for a quick getaway.
It was the perfect spot to test out the Datin Fab half rack after being so used to a full height rack. Wow what a difference! I never once felt like I might fall to my death getting in and out of the RTT and I was pleasantly surprised at how little mud and water ended up in the bed even though it was no longer covered by a Softopper.
My husband surprised me with a propane powered pizza oven for this trip. It is so “extra” and it’s things like this that give overlanders a bad name. But OMG camp pizza is delicious!
We were visited by a huge herd of elk and lots of turkey hunters. Didn’t see any actual turkeys though.
Check out the video here.
