With the North Fork Big Wood River right outside our door, John HAD to go fishing this morning. And its a good thing he did because the fish were biting and he caught a couple of them! I, on the other hand, went for a walk up Murdock Creek. As I was nearing the trailhead, our campground hostess drove by and gave me a ride. I ended up enjoying a nice walk with her and her two dogs. It was a lovely hike through woods and crossing the creek several times. The dogs enjoyed being loose. Misty, a golden lab, liked to fetch rocks out of the creek! Of course it was never the rock you threw in but she loved dunking her head under the water to find one. Winnie on the other hand was a runner - up the hill sides and through the bushes. It made for an interesting hike.
Later that evening John took me out to dinner at a very nice restaurant called The Ketchum Grill. We arrived early so we had time to wander around the freight wagon museum. In the mid-1800s when the silver rush was on, a company here built a business of running freight wagons up the mountain for 120 miles dropping off supplies for the miners and bringing their ores back to the smelter. The freight wagon had 3-4 narrow wagons hitched together and pulled by 14-20 mules. It would have been quite a sight!
