Idaho-Disappointed on Borah

Well, we went to complete another high point, Idaho’s highest mountain Borah Peak. It was a beautiful day and a great hike but I’m sad to say I didn’t make it to the top. I was in the midst of my poison ivy/oak case (at the worst it was covering about 30% of my body) and when we got to the point called ‘chicken out ridge’ I decided that was what I was going to do. My legs were just too shaky to go over that narrow snow covered ridge. Who would have thought a case of poison ivy or oak could affect a person so badly? Dave went on the the top and got some great photos which I’m putting up, but I’ll have to go back when I’m feeling good! Darn.
