Elder Starr talking to Panaca Stake about the Four Rescuers at the Sweetwater River - Mark Wadsworth listening at the Statues

Panaca River Crossing of the Sweetwater River.  The river is very, very shallow this year.

Loved capturing this tender moment from the Panaca Stake.  So typical of pioneers, trekkers and history.
Panaca Stake arrives


This was soooooooooooooooo exciting to see family in the Panaca Trek group


Square Dancing at the Cherry Creek Campground

I had the square dance caller get everyone related to the Frehners to come up so I could get their pictures.  What a great family you have Dan & Judith.  Love this posterity.

Alan Durkee and his family - Eva, Elizabeth, and Eric came to visit.  We loved showing them the area.

My favorite place to take pictures.  I love the statues.
Great smokey mountains - no really - photo taken from Base toward the homestead and rattlesnake pass.  Earlier we couldn't even see the mountains.  It is hot and dry and there are lots of fires in Wyoming.

Some of our friendly wildlife


More Wyoming Sunsets.  Shortly after this the Wyoming fires began and we lost all the clear blue skies to smoke and haze and heat.

New baby antelope and a mother white tail deer with her little one.

Veil Crossing Bridge.  Built to connect the future to the past.  In honor of the first and second rescues.


Places I don't want to forget.  The Wash House!!!!

Corner Stove and washing machine

 Tub - imagine being either the first or last to use the water in this tub.

Bunk House with new wood floors and typical 1872 setting
