Why we love Wyoming....

Ryan & Kyle in the bighorns.
(Click on the picture - it's better when it's bigger.)

My dad, his fiance (Sandy), her daughter (Serena), my sister (Katie), and brother (Ryan) came to visit for Easter. We took them up the Bighorn Mountains on Saturday to go for a hike. We had initially planned on taking them to Rifle lake, but that trail was closed. So, we headed down to Tie Hack Reservoir (& Dam). Insert a thousand dam jokes... we did. The best part of the hike was near the above pic. We were hanging out (taking bathroom breaks) and enjoying the view... All of a sudden Ryan started down the hill and found a tupperware container. At first, we thought it was a first aid kit. However, we were wrong. It was a GeoCache. Basically, there are people who travel the world (or state) looking for these things. Ryan just stumbled upon it. We were so proud. So, you open it up and you get to take something out, but you have to put something in to. We took kleenex (we had used ours up during the bathroom break), kyle took a belt buckle, and we took something else, but I can't remember what. We left my dad's business card (just in case anyone needs a tractor), some chapstick, and a granola bar. If you get the chance and have a GPS, you should play this game.

I fell off of a ladder while working on our new house. We are building in Mt. Vernon. Doing most of the work myself so this really slows down the process!!

Miranda said...

Oh no. Yeah, that will slow everything down. That's crazy. Do you want to come build us a house?

The GPS game sounds awesome too. I'll have to get one of those.
