Month: July 2023

Paul and Eli took the four wheeler up to the top of the ridge to deploy wild life cameras. Eli was so excited because this was a long ride.

This has always been a rough ride, but with the amount of snow we received and water runoff, made for an extremely rough ride.

But, when you finally reach the top, it is very beautiful up there.

Up at the top, the wild flowers were just coming out.

More trails to ride until we find our spot we like to hang the cameras.

The found snow!

Stopped to eat lunch. When the got back I was quite surprised Eli didn’t enjoy his ride. He said it was too long and too rough and he doesn’t want to do the ride again. Hate to tell him, but we have to do the ride one more time. In another month or two, we need to head back up and gather the cameras before it snows.

The first year we were married, Paul took me to this tree.

This tree grows the biggest pine cones. Well, the biggest for Utah anyway. Paul thought it would be fun to gather more ….

Funny thing. We hiked all the way up. Gathered several, but then remembered we didn’t bring a bag to carry them back down. I found some rope that some deer hunters left in the tree. Gathered some sticks,… weaved them together…

Not bad! We were able to carry them down the mountain side.

Went back to the lake and this time we brought the paddle board. We couldn’t get Eli off it. 🙂 Looks like we will be purchasing another during prime week!

On our morning run, Eli needed help getting up the hills. Took a lot of work getting me up to the top while pushing him. 🙂

Papa was still around.

The animals were really active. This guy just walked through camp. Can you spot the buck?

Paul and Eli tried to do a little fishing, but…

We cooked a lot of tin foil dinners this trip. Salmon again….

Ugg.. they cooked their own dinner of brawtworst and hotdogs. …

Brought several Ghiradellli caramel filled squares. Not going to run out this time, ha!

This little guy swallowed a squeaker toy. Then…9 sun flower seeds.

Went on a little mile and 1/2 hike.

I didn’t video or take a picture of Eli, but he was NOT happy for the entire morning.

We stopped at a beaver dam.

On the way back, Eli found another rock and had to take it down with us.

When we drove into the valley, the temperature was just unreal. 105′! We were tempted to turn around and head back up.
