Exploring Idaho: Snapshot #127: Logging at Smiley Creek

October 16, 2010.  Sawtooth City, Idaho.  One of my favorite places in the world is the Stanley Basin found in the heart of the Sawtooth National Forest of central Idaho, where there are rumored to be 27 lakes within 27 miles.  Sawtooth City is an area 40 miles northwest of Sun Valley--on the other side of Galena Peak--consisting of the Smiley Creek Airport, Smiley Creek Lodge, Alturas Lake, and some cabin getaways.  

This Saturday we loaded up the family and headed to the mountains for the annual "gathering of wood" for winter.  I thoroughly enjoy working alongside my family.  It was a gorgeous day, as evidenced by the photos.
