Nip and Tuck Road Drive

An interesting name for a road, we spent some time exploring this drive while it was raining.  It sure beat hanging out in the tent!  There were some great views of Stanley, ID as well as some neat old cabins.  We practically had the whole road to ourselves except for a couple of forest rangers that we passed early on.  We took an opportunity to do a little hike along here as well before it started raining to stretch our legs and enjoy a really nice view as well... so the GPS track includes both the drive and the hike.
