What are your jeans doing today?

[JDelage]

We are in Sun Valley, Idaho. Yesterday (it was my 50's birthday) we went on a hike to Boulder City, a very cool ghost town / mining outpost where galena was once mined (I think more for being often found with silver than for the actual lead, but I might be wrong on this). The mine used steam powered power hammers to pulverize the ore, and barrel shaped sifters to separate the fine stuff from pieces needed to be reduced further. Much is still standing. Up to 700 people lived there at a time and the mine operated from 1883 to 1893. 

(Also featured: MFSC shorts, Warehouse t, FW hat...)

Beautiful scenery!

Never spent time in Idaho besides a pretty quick drive through the panhandle a few years ago; photos like this make me wanna go back & really give it some attention…

@JDelage could be some old denim in there - get digging!

[Sansome1877]

Never mind that- take only pictures bull and only leave footprints nonsense- look through all that wood, check the cracks.

We have friends in Sun Valley / Ketchum and we’ve been a few times, but mostly for skiing (and a rafting trip). It’s our first time hiking. Gorgeous place, probably very different from the rest of Idaho, at least culturally speaking.

Made it into Portland today…

Dawson Denim…

Good to see you back Mr Fox!

Those Dawson look quite nice

[Maynard Friedman]

Beautiful! It’s like your own private Idaho @JDelage

As part of my new gig as an Idaho tourist office rep, a few pics from a different hike we did earlier in the week. No indigo this time, it was all synthetic except for a FW hat.

In Wyoming for a few days, one state over from JDelage. 

First photo is the cabin from the movie Shane (1953), a favorite of mine.

Got a rare couple hours to myself so did the obvious.....

Been hiking around in the black forrest (kinzig valley, to be specific) today

This tiny stream is not the kinzig, but is called “harmersbach“. It ends up in the kinzig, which will then end up in the rhine afaik.

visiting Cannon Beach & Seaside Oregon. Such a beautiful place

Good to see that cluster of sea stars doing well—they’ve been struggling pretty seriously for the last couple of years down this end of the coast

First time we’ve seen them flourishing this well. Usually they’re struggling

Like usual, it took longer than we thought but we recently finished the nursery for our incoming baby. So we turned this:

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^ let me first do ours

thanks gents! 6 weeks to go...

[Thanks_M8]

Not now but about 2 weeks ago. Hiking vacation with a buddy. We camped near the "Grünten", also known as "Keeper of the Allgäu". 
Did the "Übelhorn" (about 1750m) and the peak next to it, can't remember the name now, on our first day, second day the "Rubihorn" (about 1950m). Had rain all through the third day, hiked through the "Breitnachklamm" and "Starznachklamm". Pictures are in no specific order, but the ones with clear sky are definitely from the first two days
