SawtoothMonkey

The Sawtooth Monkey is a fictional character who lives in the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho, this creature is a crossbreed of a salmon and baby Bigfoot.  Breeding and divine intervention took place circa 1989 when the 1989 fire hit the SF region of the Payette river. Baby Bigfoot had no where to go but the river, he was saved by a school of salmon who by  Deus ex machina and the Idaho river God, Beeraspirits  transformed Bigfoot and the Alpha 15 pound papa salmon into the Sawtooth Monkey.  When SM hit puberty he developed a skin condition and an appetite for coconuts.  He is currently friendly but a nuisance, because of his skin problems he is known for stealing ointment, lotions and sunscreen.  Also, because of his love for coconuts, he is known for steal those too.  Should you confront or come in contact with this elusive creature, please don't feed him anything but coconuts.  

Perfect spot to sit, have a beer, and watch the flowing river

The river from the view of the hot springs

Views of the fire pit and where we decided to park the van

The hot springs were only 1000 feet from the hipcamp property down the road. Easy place to come and enjoy the river and take a soak. We were blown away by how beautiful the area was!

Great fire pit. Unfortunately we weren't able to use it because we got rained on!

The just brought in the port-a potty so it was brand new and super nice!

The river was flowing fast while we were there! Loved falling asleep to the sound of the river:)
