Mackay, Idaho 83251

Decided to take an adventure across Passcreek this afternoon. I even DROVE...a 100 mile circuit never traveling the dirt road portion more than 10-25 miles per hour and we took the pups with us. We stopped to let them "swim" and wade. My Kemmer, up by me in the photo below is NOT a lover of water, but she finally did wade some...that's Kady in the water.

We continued up the Passcreek Road toward the Howe Highway (39 miles on a dirt road) enjoying a couple of hawks as we went, first just sitting along side the road. We also saw one female mule deer crossing the road.

Then, taking flight.

We stopped at the Arco Advertiser newpaper office in Arco to look up an obituary from 1975 without any luck finding it.

Then home to Mackay, Idaho along US93 north. We arrived home at nearly 6:15 PM and we left home at 12:30 PM.
