It's summertime in Island Park
Might I introduce you?
It is my great pleasure to (virtually) welcome you to Island Park, Idaho! I'm enjoying a beautiful sunny summer day from the second floor of the Island Park Library.

I hope I can accurately express how amazing it . . .

Ahhh, firewood!
I suppose it would be possible to live as we do and never build a campfire - but, my, what a travesty! Forsaking something so basic and essential to humanity’s existence? Nope, not okay in our book. So, we have fires.
To have campfires, we must have firewood. Here . . .
Baby, It's Cold Outside
Oh, right - snowbirds stay south for the winter for a reason.
Howdy from the Natchez Trace in Mississipppi! We found a beautiful site here at Rocky Springs. The past couple mornings its most appealing feature was in our fire barrel!
Even with the cold, it’s nice to be in the woods again, amongst tall, tall trees. There’s a mix of hardwood and evergreen. Cedar trees are common. A couple . . .
