Thanksgiving Weekend on the North Fork of the Salmon River,

It was a great weekend with all of the weather elements present. We drove to where we cut our Christmas trees and had 4 -5 inches of snow. These are a few of the 149 pictures taken. It was cold, it was warm it was rainy and we had snow. Blake took this picture as we were driving back down out of Colson Creek Canyon.
Here is Art cooming from the far side of the river to get the breakfast.
You can see Phil farther down river fishing.
Jordan Maag's parents Darcy and Joan. Jordan is now engaged to Ashley.
Art coming back late afternoon after a long day of fishing since 5:30 a.m.
Tree hunting, Tena had permits for 5 trees. This was very fun!
Taking a moment with Terri and Lucy. Jordin out waling in the tracks. There were few vehicle tracks this high. We did notice a lot of Dog tracks everywhere. Wolves??
Terri and Tena posing for a pic. They seemed to have had a great trip and weekend.
Jordan and Ashley....
Art navigating the river.
Our cold little popsicle. She had fun and even slept mostly well every night. The 5th wheel was a little small to have her with us. She needs rooom to move in.
No! You can't have my shmella! I am not old enough to need to share yet.
Terri laughing at Lucy, this was a constant thing..
The only day of sunshine, we took the time to enjoy it. Note to self... next time bring dry fire wood from home. The sund does not shine longer then a few hours into the canyons each day. Many brought wood with them. The wood was all wet everywhere. The only way to keep it lit was to use the propane weed burner with it.
Tena took some awesome animal pictures. We have seen it all this trip though not as many as last time. On the way in we saw the biggest moose I have ever seen alive, 9 elk, 3 deer, scades of mountain sheep, and on the way home a couple of hundred antelope.
Lucy, eating.
The loves of my life. It was enjoyable but cold at night. We need to get a bigger 5th wheel with a larger propane heater. But we survived.We stayed at the upper part of Ebaneezer camp ground. We had the biggest ram I have ever seen walk through our camp.
Blake went rock climbing, next time Blake, please use your hands! He slid off onto his face.

This was our normal breakfast scene. Terri premade burritos and we ate very well between Tena and Terri. We mostly ate at the Richardson trailer, they could seat 12 of us pretty easy. We had a lot of laughs and a great time! I will put a few more pics on another segment.
