It's In Idaho

Idaho is a pretty cool state. They have such amazing spots on their plate. We went to Downata Hot Springs. It's great! There were lots of things to do with my mate.

We have been invited to Downata before, but I imagined it to be a barren waste land with a hot spring on the property. I was mistaken. The oasis has large trees, a bird refuge, livestock, roads for four wheeling, biking, a great camp ground with lots of green grass. It has cabins, yurts and wonderful slides and pools. What's not to love?

The horse pasture allowed for interesting photo silhouettes. Cows roamed the fields. Farmers worked well into the night planting before the rains came. The icing on the cake was the warble of the sand hill cranes landing for a bite to eat. We will definitely return to this peaceful land.
