There is an amazing of these three boys - came on a Trek - helped pack girls across the Sweetwater. This photo is untouched - notice the reflections in the water. The spirit of the pioneers lingers here and sometimes reveals the reasons for the Trek experiences.

Guest - sitting on the rock by our little home - just waiting for something to eat. He was huge and posed for my photo just perfectly.

WHEELS - handcart wheels - all lined up and ready for a pioneer experience.

It was a very cold and windy day but we spent time telling pioneer experiences in the Cove.

Dennis & Kara came visiting with her brother and his wife. Yes - another picture with the statues. Can you tell this is my favorite spot.

Same sunrise as it casts the morning colors on the Ferris mountains.

Wyoming Sunrise - this was taken right behind the motorhome on September 16th.

Wyoming Sunset - this sky is beautiful.

Listening to stories in the "Cove"

Our dear neighbors - Joanne and Gary Waldie came to visit with Irv and Christy Smith. This is always the favorite spot to visit.

Fall photo of the Sinks area when the pool of water is full and the area is tranquill - waiting for winter.

Chokecherries are abundant in the Lander Canyon near the Sinks. As you can imagine the bear are also plentiful.

Rainbow and Brown trout lounge in the pool of water that re-appears through the limestone rocks.

This is where the water re-appears up through the rocks and forms a pool where the fish love to come and swim - summer and winter. No fishing is allowed.

The river runs down from the mountains and disappears into a limestone cave. It simply disappears - but downstream a little ways and on the other side of the rode is re-appears through the rocks and bubbles up through the limestone.

More of the limestone cliffs in Lander Canyon

Near Lander Wyoming - limestone cliffs. This is near a place called "The Sinks". Look it up on the internet. It is a beautiful canyon area south and west of Lander

Old Rock house (shed) at a mining site near Rock Creek Hollow - it is pretty well preserved and is obviously very, very old.

Flowering weeds in front of the old log fence at Rock Creek Hollow - August 2011

Dick, standing in front of the trailer we stayed in at Rock Creekd Hollow. More Willows are in the background.

Sunset at Rock Creek Hollow. This area is very. very remote and is surrounded by evidence of old mines.

This is Rock Creek. People pan for gold there even today. The willows are prevalent in this little valley and the pioneers took refuge in the willows for protection from the winds and storms. It is a peaceful little cove, protected by the rock cliffs. The trail is still visable where the handcarts and wagons came down into the little ravine and then crossed the creek and left on the opposite side.

We spent a week at Rock Creek Hollow. This picture is taken looking toward the valley where the pioneers came for shelter in an early snowstorm. This was the Willie Handcart Company and there are 13 buried in on grave and two more who were the men that dug the grave for the first 13. It is a beautiful spot and so humbling to know of the events that took place here.
