The First Transcontinental Telephone Line

Feeling Adventuresome

On Thanksgiving, after our picnic and a couple of geocaches, I asked Dennis to pull over at a spot I had spied earlier.  I don't think he knew what I was up to when I lead him down a very narrow path on a very steep slope towards the spot I sought.  We're getting close here.

It's a long way down!  I'll admit it, there were a couple of times I regretted wanting to get out to that viewpoint.  A couple of times, Dennis had to hold my hand and calm me down as I started a panic attack.  I couldn't watch my footing without seeing that loooong way down.

To the left is the path, the very narrow, slickery path.  Towards the middle, behind the trees is the rock I wanted to reach.

That rock, we made it!  We sat on the top and enjoyed the view.  I wish we had had a geocache with us because we would have planted it.  Would be a great spot for one. :)

Dropping on my head

Geocaching in the west

Nevada - Fastest Indian

Utah by the Bonneville Salt Flats - the cache is a 1 gallon water jug and can be seen in the photo.

Idaho - FTF - red coffee can

Stretch

Still Standing. . .mostly

Traffic Jam

Since moving out west we have been held up by cattle being moved and now sheep - in just about a month, lol.  Also, you know those "Lost Dog" signs?  Saw one for a cow.

They are jumping over a guardrail on the right.

I posted a short sheep video on facebook if you're interested.

Utah's Woodrat

Found at Rick's Spring in Logan Canyon, Utah.

I think my grandkids would have begged to take him home, lol.  PS - He's big.

Got my buck!

This other one was better, but he wouldn't cooperate - check out that rack, though.

Owyhee County, Idaho

Stopped at a creek to let the dogs stretch their legs and get a drink.

Although Owyhee county is the second largest county in the state of Idaho, the population is under 12,000 people.

Lewiston Overlook (Idaho)

Frosty Noon

Hagerman fossil beds national monument. Frosty morn

Curlicurls and Whirlygigs

Closetmaid Cubeicals

We bought a couple of the closetmaid cubeicals for my craft room and one of the back boards was missing.  Closetmaid was awesomely quick at getting a replacement out to us.  I found it funny how this tiny things came in such a big box, lol.

All of this can be yours

Walking on volcanos

Walking around Craters of the Moon feels really weird when you think about it. 

I couldn't resist getting some close-ups of the rocks.

So many color variations.

And things somehow grow there!

You can walk almost the entire rim of this caldera.
