Anything can happen in the Fall in Idaho. I wouldn't doubt that you could easily hit 15 degrees at that elevation on a clear night in October. However, Shoup or Salmon would rarely ever hit 15 degrees that time of year. If it's just your sleeping bag that can't go much below that, then I...
How did this balloon full of hot, smelly air get deflated in national print? Oh yeah, it's the NYT.

IF&G's strategy in the last decade has been to drastically reduce the cow population there. The objective for cows has been, and still is today, to maintain...
