Ski Odyssey Modified

One of our goals in taking off to "follow the storms" was to also really experience a lot of different areas. Yet, with Laurie's injury (and the new full-time job I have doing therapy!)we've had the chance to spend over two weeks in Sun Valley. Truth be told, it's never been my favorite ski hill, so the initial plan was to just stay 3-4 days with the focus on catching up with friends more than skiing. So many friends who have made this their part-time home always talk about the multitude of activities the Valley offers along with the incredible beauty. Well for sure we now "get it"!! On Friday we took the breathtaking drive up to Frenchman's Glen. The Big Wood River runs through it:

And in a couple spots there are natural hot springs:

It's been years since I read "the Bridges of Madison County" but immediately thought of that when we came upon this view:

And here's the back view of Warm Springs (site of my accident!) as we're heading back to Ketchum:

How could you not be inspired by the beauty of this day?!
