It rains all night and shows no sign of letting up during the day, so Ann, her dad, and I get out the rain gear and slush through the slop down to the Payette river. The hard part is getting started.

We pass the cute cabin down the hill a ways.

By the river is the picnic area. Alas we have no picnic with us.

On the way back we try walking on the railroad tracks. More direct, but harder walking!

When we get back the rain continues, and we even hear some thunder! I hope maybe it will turn to snow overnight, and plan another day at the ski area tomorrow.
