so this is the South Fork of the Boise we are right under Anderson ranch Dam
really close to Boise not too far out and we are here for a little river
camping trip now I don't have Chad this trip this trip I brought my family to
meet up with more of my family so I started coming up here and doing this
rafting trip since I was nine so things like what to wear on the river the
proper footwear seem like secondhand knowledge to me Treyden why is
your mom already freaking out already because she doesn't have the right gear and I forget that
people that have lived in Idaho people that have been in the outdoors that
rafting might not be something they do that often
I mean I could have brought the right gear if someone told me what to bring
this is what you want to take on the river and I think for a lot of people
maybe you guys out there that are coming to visit Idaho this is a good place a
good trip to maybe consider really close to Boise we're gonna do the upper
stretch of the Boise right now that's a nice easy relaxed trip now a little bit
down further you get some some bigger whitewater some more splishy-splashy
we're going to do some rafting we're gonna do some hiking do some camping and
it's gonna be a fun weekend Sarah it looks like you finally figured out
what you're wearing so we've got layers here you got like a nice fleece under
layer you got my pants you got my aunts long johns
you got my wool socks and then you've got like what are these the dudes
jellies the sparkling jellies which are not river approved but pretty
fashionable I gotta say
*Music*
Did I get wet I feel like I was a human shield right there
for you guys
just remember if you haven't rafted before make sure you get a guide make
sure you go with someone that's experienced go with an outfitter don't just rent a
raft in Boise and come and think that you're gonna be able to raft this river
that's not safe don't do that
I found the bathroom they said you could pee in that if you wanted to or if you're savage like Sarah you could
just squat over the river and pee into the river they found I did find the pooper
for when you have to poop it's really nice don't worry about it dilution is
the solution for pollution so rule of thumb is try to pee into the river if
you're a guy that's pretty easy if you're a gal usually you pee into some
sort of bucket and then we dump it into the river in the South Fork in this
Canyon area there are bathrooms but not on our campsite so we brought our own
bathroom there it is and then you can do your
business with a great view so this area of the river there's bathrooms all
around our campsite is probably a 2-3 minute drive from a toilet an outhouse
that we're gonna go find
everyone always has the cool shot of laying in the hammock what they don't
have is the pain in the ass it takes to set one up and get into it
Oh Oh nailed it this is definitely a two-person process here
so it's day 2 and we are heading for a hike first thing there's plenty of good
hiking around here we are just setting out right from our campsite to one of
the trail heads so no need to drive extra or anything like that which is
nice and I'm told there's some we're gonna be following a nice stream a nice
Creek here we're gonna see some water we're gonna be around some water and
it's nice a nice change of pace there's a lot to do in this Canyon
so we spotted from aways I don't know if you can see it this this waterfall
behind us on this rock and with the power of drone technology we have been
able to scout it out and we are now blazing our own trail up here to this
waterfall to see if possibly there's a little pool we can get our hot feet nice
and nice and chilled so Treydens already running up there but yeah it's super
pretty and it looks like a nice little hidden spot that we found
all right Marie you're 65 years young today you just hiked all the way up here
how do you feel awesome I feel like I can't believe I did it
and whoo hoo
anybody else that's 65 what advice would you have for them yeah
don't quit don't quit don't quit there's always a way yeah
