Last weekend was very busy, we packed the equivalent of 8 days into 3. On Friday afternoon we went up to Scout Mountain with one of our friends for an overnight. Nick was off hiking around when this little ground squirrel started moving about the campground. He was way to forward and has obviously been given food. I thought I'd scare him off with a pointy stick (3' hot dog fork with 5" tines) but all he really wanted to do was lick the ends. He's located at the top just left of center on this picture. Slapping the fork on the ground chased him away. Being this unafraid of humans is not good for wildlife. We didn't feed him. And he didn't come back to visit us again.
I also went to Idaho Falls to visit with another friend. Shopped, cleaned house, caught up with my sisters who were/are visiting. ...
This weekend may be just as fun filled. :)
After later

Hot Springs in Palisades Reservoir (July 2006)
A couple of weekends ago (14, 15 & 16 of July) we went back to Palisades. We were out on the lake early enough in the morning to spot this strange phenomenon. Steam rising from the lake. Apparently there's a hot springs that is emptying into the lake. I got out and swam around later in the day and yes indeedy the water near this stream was significantly warmer than elswhere. We took GPS coordinates so we can find our way back. We didn't catch fish, but we had a LOT of fun. Go check out my Flickr account if you want to see more pictures from this trip.
