Scout Mountain campground

Not wanting to spend another long day driving, we settled for a Forest Service campground outside Pocatello. Nice campground with nice views of the mountains and valleys, but no fishing and no wildlife to view other than free-range cattle. This area is apparently well-suited for winter Nordic skiing, based on the designated areas we saw, but we had to be content for doing a lot of walking (probably good for us), and just plain relaxin' (probably too much). And the second night could be properly designated as one of the most disgusting nights of camping we've ever experienced - several groups of rowdies partying and chopping wood all night, vehemently arguing and threatening the camp hosts and camping neighbors - puncuated as we were leaving with 3 sheriff's cars and Forest Service enforcement officer issusing citations and hopefully with a few arrests. A somewhat scary night for us, but the real disappointment was the fact that they had several very adorable children with them that were being exposed to terrible behavior and language (constant "F" words) exercised at decibel levels heard all around the canyon. We were glad to be moving on.
