In the backcountry, there is no indoor plumbing. Outhouses are the way to go. In the case of my great aunt Frances, she wanted hers to be seen from the Salmon River, in hopes of irritating Sierra Club members floating the river. So she painted hers blue. After one choice encounter with a said Sierra Club member that declared once the area Frances lived in was made into the Frank Church Wilderness, River of No Return, she would have to leave, she made it her mission to do what she could to tick off any and all Sierra Club members. Little did each know that they were both there for a common reason, keep the area wild and free of development.
Honoring our friend Doug Tims who received an honorary lifetime membership award from the Idaho Outfitters & Guides Association yesterday. One of my favorite shots of Doug. Glad I've been lucky enough to sit across the campfire from him and listen to his stories. I wonder how many others have been so lucky?
