I was going through some pictures and thought it might be fun to share pictures of our camp when we landed in Idaho on our property in Clayton on July 12 1986. Nothing but a well pipe sticking out of the ground. We were going to build our own house. We made camp and then Hubby had to go back to California with the neighbor that brought the mules in a second truck and trailer back home and bring the last load of our stuff. Almost everything we owned was in that stock truck. The string lines you might see bits of in the pictures were keeping the mules from trying to get into the camper and away from my birds. and stuff. Sort of worked. I stayed with the animals. ALL by myself. Hehehe
Then later you can see camp expanding when our friend came back with Joe and brought his camp trailer to live in. Then the three of us set out to build our little log home. Was a real adventure. Took us three days shy of three months to be able to move into the house. Unfinished of course but by then it was 17 degrees outisde and the camper needed to get back to California or burst it's pipes.

OK So I know it looks so hokey. It is what it is.
Maybe some of you would like to add your first days in Idaho here for those coming behind us.
