Camping Adventures

It has been raining non-stop for the past few weeks and our summer is quickly slipping away without ever really arriving. Cory and I decided that we needed to get some summer fun in, even if the weather was horrible. So we packed up our gear and went camping again last weekend. The weather was beautiful on Friday night. We woke up to rain drops on the tent early Saturday morning but we quickly went back to sleep and woke up to sunshine. It didn't last long, though. We went for a ride up Bear Creek, which is by Grey's River in WY. We saw some beautiful back-country and got soaking wet and muddy at the same time.

This waterfall and stream were being created from snow run-off. You can't see it very good in this picture, but there is a ton of snow at the top of this mountain.

And yes, we did get stuck. We forgot to take the bow saw with us so that we could cut any trees that might be in our path. Instead of turning around, Cory decided that we could easily go OVER this huge tree. He got high centered and was thrilled when we had to break out the winch to help us get un-stuck. We wrapped the rope around one tree and we actually started to pull it out of the ground. Guess we were stuck pretty good. So I looped the rope around a couple of trees and that did the trick. And Marcy, we went past an area called Kennington Flat. Is that area named after Kyle's family?
