So I finished the day and the week after staying with six different groups. Colorado Springs, Draper, Salt Lake 1st Ward (A deaf ward), Moab Stake, Idaho Falls, and Houston Texas - each one bring their own unique experiences and stories. I took the final photos of the clouds in the evening sky and closed the week.
Now you saw some of the beautiful skies - this is another story. Two boys from the Moab Stake got a Rattle Snake in front of the boy's bathroom - took off his head and then needed to know what to do with it. We had given explicit instructions for people not to roast snakes if they found them. These two boys came up to us at the Campground Host Shack to show us the snake and ask permission to cook the snake on their camp stove for the kids to eat. We had told them we didn't want them to throw snakes into the fires just to be mean but gave permission for them to respectfully take care of their kill and cook it as they would any wildlife they killed for food. They were so good to ask and I told them they had to let me take a photo first.



Then - still at the campground because we were there from 7 AM until everyone was finished in their camps at night - usually 9:30 I got some incredible sunsets.


More Wyoming Sky with the national historic Handcart Trail in the front. This is the actual trail area where all four trails came through this area - California, Oregon, Pony Express, and Mormon Handcart Trails.


While I was sitting out the campground as host last week I noticed how beautiful the clouds were aginst this magnificent blue sky - so I got several photos of the clouds.
