Winter is coming

Winter is coming, but it is still fall.   With a storm coming in and showers predicted for the day, it was time to go hunt fall color.
One of the first things needed for a hike is a hiking stick.  Halle likes just about any stick from time to time.  Especially one that someone else shows interest in.  I had picked this one up and then put it down, that'll work.

Up the Trail.



Getting rained, sleeted and snowed on.  :)






Along the trail.


Cloud trees.




After the hike we took a quick drive down the South Fork to look for more color.  We turned around at the Boardman trail head bridge.









Then back to the house for a nap and some work on the jeep.  I purchased some parts for the winch and wanted to get it ready for the winter ahead.
After the nap the coluds broke and patches of sun came out for some great photos by Marianne.

There is snow on the mountains and more on the way over the next several days!
Click on the photo below to really see that snow!










On the way home we eye spied this small herd of elk in one of the fields along the highway.
Another nice weekend in a less busy part of Idaho.
