Our home in Mountain Home

We found a cute little cabin in Mountain Home to rent for a few days. Last summer when we were here, we stayed in the state park campground that is close by, but decided to go "high end" on this visit ... so that Alicia could have air conditioning! It is a small cabin that sits right on the White River. It has a nice dock to tie up a boat... alas, we don't have a boat!

The White River is a power generating river with the dam a short way up the river from here. The water typically runs about 50-55 degrees for most of the year since the water release is from the bottom and the reservoir is very, very big.

As a result of the temperature difference between the air and water, fog is pretty common.

Our little place


Views from out little place. Each day, toward the end of the day, fog comes up off the river. This happens because the water is very cold and the air temperature is very warm. It could be 85F at the cabin but feel like less than 70F near the water (about 100 feet distance between the two).
