Island Park, Idaho

Some friends of ours invited us to their cabin for the Labor Day weekend, September 2 through September 5, 2016. We parked our trailer on their property on Huckleberry Lane in Island Park, Idaho. They had sewer, water, a 15 Amp electric hookup, and a small fire pit.

As unsocial as we are, we enjoyed being with our son’s friend’s parents and their extended family. We met parents, siblings, and their children. It was fun to talk and get to know them. 

While there we had a guide take us to Sheridan Ranch Reservoir and the Sheridan Stream. We had fun learning how to fly fish this stream and lake. We caught a few fish and had fun.

When we returned home. we left without our trailer. We planned to return the very next week and spend some more time in this beautiful area. We returned with one of our married sons and his wife and stayed from September 8 through September 11, 2016. We visited Yellowstone National Park and enjoyed it very much.

Riverside Campground, Island Park, Idaho

Our first outing was to Riverside Campground on the bank of the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River in Eastern Idaho. We arrived early in the evening of Wednesday August 17th. On Thursday morning I arose, dressed in my suit and tie, and went to work at Brigham Young University – Idaho.

We fished on our own in the Henry’s Fork. When we get fishing we have a difficult time stopping for meals or anything else. Fortunately, the sun sets, ending our day. With our beautiful trailer we go home, turn on the furnace and the lights, and enjoy a great meal before retiring for the night.

Friday August 19 was our anniversary and we celebrated by floating down the South Fork of the Snake River with a guide. The guide wasn’t great, but the fishing was fun.

We stayed in a pull through campsite on the opposite side of the road from the river, but still quite nice. While there we drove through the Buffalo Campground, a bit further north, and thought the loop with hookups looked interesting to try someday.

On this trip we noticed several issues with the trailer. Several items were missing including the remote for the trailer, the remote’s charging cable, 12′ propane hose for a barbecue hookup, a hair dryer, and the remote for the TV. On the way home the refrigerator cover on the outside of the trailer blew or fell off. We returned the trailer to Stewart’s RV and they made appropriate adjustments under warrantee; they’ve been great to work with.
