One of the first places we visited was McCall, Idaho. What a nice drive to get there.

On the way up we went by way of Cascade, another town worth visiting in the area, and spent a few days up in McCall. Continue reading “BIT 40”

Playing at the College Church of the Nazarene in the Treasure Valley.
Notice how the landscape went from wet to white… They were taken just a short distance from each other!
