teamscumblog: Rambling's of a Rambler

The summer is here and i have been hittin' that dusty ol' trail pretty hard. Most of my ramblings have been limited to Idaho and Montana, with a couple other states thrown in the mix for good measure. I have a pretty sweet work schedule which allows for ample amounts of no responsibility, I have been doing some kayaking and a whole bunch of life living. Here is a quick account and a few pictures from the summer as far as i have seen it.

Teva Mtn Games:
Turns out the Homesteak Creek race actually starts before the opening ceremonies in Vail so if you plan on attending that event you have to be on top of your shit. I got flooded out of my camp site in Vail and had to relocate in the middle of the night, somebody was nice enough to leave their trailer open for me to crash in.

Turns out Idaho has some really amazing wilderness areas and an incredible amount of drainage's fed by peaks above 11 and 12 thousand feet. Check out some pictures from an unnamed peak near the East Fork of the Salmon in Custer County Idaho.

Raft Guides on the Payettes have a pretty sweet housing deal! One of the outfitters bought a piece of land along the N.F of the Payette to act as guide housing. So you can pitch your tent for the summer drive up the road and put on the N.F and take out at your "house". I met up with some Boone Town kidz in Banks and spent the forth of July weekend paddling the Payettes. We put on with a big crew of Banks locals for an after work run down the Staircase, it's a road side run so one of the shuttlers was stopping at the rapids to shoot bottle rockets off at us. I had a hard time getting my shit together to take any photos while in Banks, but i can tell you for sure that no picture can accurately represent the size and stature of the N.F Payette
