Hello from Ponderosa State Park - McCall, Idaho

Just wanted to drop a quick note. We arrived this afternoon at our favorite camping spot for the past 20 years: Ponderosa State Park just outside of McCall, Idaho situated on beautiful Payette Lake. We will be here for 6 nights and be enjoying our whole family joining us. Should be a wild week!! :)

  • Have you ever been to Philips Lake outside of Baker City? There is one 30ish site improved campground on the north side of the lake and two no-service campgrounds on the south side of the lake.

    It's smaller than Ponderosa, less developed. I kind of like it better for that reason.

    Now if I only didn't have to pay non-resident fees for fishing....
  • We will be back home in Cascade the end of next week, after 3½ weeks in Sturgis for Bike Week. Last year, they said it was high 90's low 100's for the whole time of Bike Week, this year the highest has been in the LOW 80's. Looking forward to getting back home and kicking back.
