After our failed attempts at soaks in White Licks Hot Springs, we retreated to Boise, where we were welcomed into the home of Colin's old college friend, Angela, and her husband Bob. Both Angela and Misa were registered to take a Praxis exam in Boise on Saturday, so the timing worked out perfectly. We got a tour of the Eagle Fish Hatchery, where Bob is a fish culturist taking care of Idaho's endangered Sockeye Salmon. It was fascinating to hear about how Idaho Fish & Game cultures these fish, tags and monitors them, and releases them into the river.
On Sunday we headed east toward Stanley, stopping by what will now be known as the Butterfly Hot Springs, located between Garden Valley and Lowman in the Boise National Forest. Our pictures don't really capture how many they were because some flew off when we approached with the camera. The yellow ones (not shown) were especially shy.
