Winter Holiday on the Salmon River

Ice on the Salmon RiverWhile everyone else might be running about getting last-minute Holiday gifts, or dashing to the airport to wade through security to catch a flight home, here along the banks of the Salmon River outside of White Bird Idaho, ice chunks float by, but it is calm and delightful!

Yikes! Weather temps dipped last night into the low 20′s!  Daytime temps, as indicated by my trusty Oregon Scientific Weather Station, shows we’ve warmed up to 30 degrees here at 11o’clock in the morning. Better get out the shades for a Winter walk, ‘cuz  our beautiful Idaho blue skies make it a dazzling day.

Icy day on the Salmon River near the Silver BridgeAmazingly, I saw a drift boat float by earlier this morning, with its oarsman bundled up. The guy is either enjoying the crisp morning, or a fisherman hoping to throw out a line to snag a steelhead!  Why that’s amazing is because the boat has to dodge the ice chunks floating on top of the Salmon River.  Sorry, didn’t get a pic of the boat, but you get a sense of the day from these images.

Our Swiftwater RV Park is nearly full with rigs that are placed here in our Winter Storage program from guests residing in the greater McCall, Idaho area.  However, there still are open spaces for folks wanting to come stay for a day..or more…just give us a shout out!

Merry Christmas, and hope to see you next year at Swiftwater RV Park – the best camping value on the Salmon River in Idaho!
