Pine Flats

Well had I paid a bit more attention when choosing our campground yesterday, I wouldn’t have selected one on a dead end road.  It was a simple mistake, the road crossed the center seam of our map book and I didn’t flip it to check closely enough to see if it continued on the other side.  It amounted to a bit of backtracking and most of the morning driving South as there was no road East.

We also caught a good deal of construction and traffic.  Tyler had never been to or seen a hot spring so recognizing a few town names from my mountain biking trip last summer we took a smaller road East towards Lowman, Id.  We camped at Pine Flats CG a little bit East of Lowman.

We got in early, 1:30PM and visited the springs.  I then took some time to clean out the Jeep, air out our linens and do a bit more organizing.

We took another trip down to the springs then back to camp for dinner.  It is hot now, 89 degrees, but I can feel the air cooling as the sun drops.  We are back on Mountain time now also.

There is no quick way East to Yellowstone, but I hope to make it tomorrow.
