We drove up, 6 hot guys, four of us with mullets, fresh out of college, in a minivan, looking for a free place to pitch a tent. We drove in as slow as possible, noting the nifty 2 mph speed limit signs, cautiously optimistic.

We were greeted warmly by the Ruler of Arco, Scar himself. (Single women be careful, he is extremely seductive). He labeled us as serial killers then welcomed us all in.

Scar is what makes this place the best campsite in Idaho. He makes sure you are supplied with ONLY safe beer. If you’re not sure if your beer is safe, ask Scar, he will emphatically let you know.

Sit around the campfire with Scar and get in on all the latest Arco gossip (stuff goes down in the grocery store). Bring your best (and worst) jokes and have a great laugh with strangers you’ll probably never see again (shout out Aiden). Ask about Scar’s local love interests (specifically Lois) for some great stories. If you’re there to see Craters of the Moon, don’t let Scar’s pessimism prevent you from going (it is cooler than just “lava rocks in the desert”).
