After my failed attempt to see “the most beautiful spot in Idaho” I drove on looking for a home for the night.  I could have stayed at my turn around spot, but I was looking for a better view.  I was being picky.  And I was also enjoying the view of the Little Lost River Valley.  I chose the Summit Creek Campground for my home for the night.  It was a nice campground, and I was lucky that there was an auto mechanic staying there.  

My van had developed a terrible noise.   My camping neighbor offered to look at my van and he thought the issue was dust on the brakes. He told me to apply the brakes hard a couple of times.  If that didn’t work, I should drive to Idaho Falls. I dove into my frig offering him cold beer for his help.  He only accepted one beer.  As we continued to talk his thirst for beer grew and I was happy to give him more beer.  I would have been happy if he took a twelve pack.  

 The next day I hit the brakes hard and the noise disappeared.
