Flashback to Lake Cascade
Oh, Idaho.
About this time last year, we were on one of our last camping trips our van. James’s brother and sister-in-law came for a visit from North Carolina with their two children. We stayed in a cabin at Ponderosa State Park in McCall. We hadn’t done any cabin camping before, and I have to say that I’m a fan. After McCall, we headed over to Lake Cascade State Park. Idaho’s state parks are truly wonderful. I haven’t written much about our camping adventures. At one point, we were thinking of taking some time and traveling around in our camper van. I planned to chronicle our travels and post campsite reviews. I much prefer where we are now to living in a van, but camping did a lot of good for me during the pandemic or whenever work became too stressful. In Idaho, within just a couple of hours of our home in Garden City, we could be in a beautiful state park on the site of one the Oregon Trail’s most famous crossings or at the foot of North America’s tallest single-structured sand dune. I don’t need a lot of escape these days, but when I do, it’s to the garden I go.
