Island Park with the Kinghorns


Wynn did get our truck back into working order and so we got to go
on another adventure this week end, July 24, 25, & 26th.

Wynn took off early on Thursday and we packed up and headed for Island Park.
Our good friends, the Kinghorn's, have a piece of property up just past
Macrea''s Bridge.  It was beautiful!

We camped two nights, Thursday  and Friday night.

Friday morning, we headed out for a long RZ ride.
Here we are just past Macrae's Bridge.
My cute honey, ready to go!

Kay looks all bundled up.  It is pretty chilly when we are driving.

 We went up past Big Springs and got on the old railroad bed and
drove it all the way to West Yellowstone.
It was so fun!  We had lunch in West.
 Then we headed for Lion's Head trail.
So beautiful!  So many wildflowers.  I loved it. . . 

 Wynn even picked my a bouquet!


After Lion's Head, we went to the top of TwoTop mountain.
Here we are, it was so windy!
But, what a fun day.
We went 115 miles today.



On Saturday morning, we were just going to go on a short ride and then
come back to camp and have lunch and then go floating in the river.
We went up to Sawtelle.  I haven't been up there for a lot of years.
It was simply beautiful.  These pictures don't do it justice.




Kay and I - a Selfie!

On our way back to camp, there was a beautiful cabin and Kay and Loren
recognized the women that was there.  It was Elder and Sister Mickelsen's
cabin!  He married Sam and Hailey and Brittney and Brian.
Well, we stopped and they were so hospitable!  They showed us their
beautiful cabin/home!  Oh my, it was so beautiful!  They even invited
us for lunch!  When Elder Mickelsen was a Seventy, his assignment
was in Mexico and so they lived there for five years.  Sis. Mickelsen made us
a burrito.  She says she always keeps them on hand so she has
a meal to share.  It was amazing to sit at their table and feel of their spirit.
Such wonderful people, so glad I got to be in their presence.   What
a tender mercy.

We headed back to camp, too late to go on a float trip but so happy we 
got to visit with the Mickelsens!
We packed up camp and went  home.
Another successful  week-end to add to the books.
