Rocktober camping

I call it Rocktober because October in Idaho is absolutely stunning.  It simply rocks.  Chris had to drag me to Ketchum for the weekend after a long couple weeks of work.  I was admittedly not terribly enthusiastic but once we were there, it was awesome.  We rolled into Ketchum and ate dinner around 6 pm Friday night.  Our plan was to sleep in the tent trailer at on of the Forest Service Campgrounds north of town.  We forgot about the government shutdown so when we arrived at Easley Campground around 8 pm, we decided to keep heading north.  We turned off on Silver Creek road (or something like that) and travelled a couple of miles thinking about how it would suck if we had to turn around.  We ended up driving straight into a wonderful spot and set up camp for the night.  We woke up the next morning to beautiful snow covered mountains, yellow aspens, and sunshine.  Our weekend consisted of a fabulous family bike ride further up the road that we were already camping near, trailing of the sheet in Ketchum, and snow on Sunday morning.  The pictures don't do the scenery justice.  It was absolutely spectacular.
