First camping in Idaho

Erin, as I think I have mentioned before, loves the band Live. Yes, they’ve had #1 hits and have sold 20 million records worldwide but I don’t really get into them. Alas, this will be the third time she has dragged me to one of their concerts. This one is in Ketchum, ID, which is about 2.5 hours away. They are playing with Collective Soul and Rocco Deluca & The Burden. I definitely never got into the former but the latter seems to be my kind of music; check out their site and listen to some of their stuff.
Anyway, the big goodie for me is that, because hotels in the Ketchum/Sun Valley area are stupid expensive, I was able to convince Erin we should camp at a local campground. So, we leave tomorrow morning for an undisclosed campground (Erin has this thing about ‘the world’ knowing where we are, as though we were significant in some way and some terrorist sniper is going to take out our tent). I wish, for Erin and Maggie’s sakes, that the campground had a few more amenities. We will be using pit toilets, i.e. outhouses, and not have access to showers. The good news, the VERY good news, is that: “nature” will be all around, Maggie will be exposed to camping (although this is not her first time camping or her first concert), and we will be saving a ton of money. We won’t be taking the laptop with us, so look for a trip report no earlier than Wednesday evening.
