We wanted to take our Wisconsin friends, Harry and Caroline,
somewhere Idaho-ish without climbing a peak. We chose Sheep Creek.
John carried Jasmine the first mile or two.
The previous winter, a warm storm came in and melted the snow. As
the snow melted and it all sluiced out, the floodwaters stripped all
the dirt from the stream beds and surrounding areas.
Harry is rarely out-toyed, but Jasmine had clearly worn
him out.
