Darn Big Boot

Elko has several big boots around the community, painted to match the business they are in front of. This is one of my favorites. It is in front of a jewelry store, of course. 

After researching, I found this was a centennial project for Elko. Click here for info!

Angel Lake

Angel Lake USFS campground is 2,000 feet higher than us and 4 miles further up the road. It has a beautiful alpine lake stocked with fish and some wonderful hiking trails and access to more lakes. Laton and I were getting it ready to open on Friday and I had a chance to take a picture or two of the surrounding mountains. 

More Earth Laughter

Wow, the spring flowers are really showing up. Check out our latest blooms!

Beautiful Evening

Today was laundry day! Not my favorite activity but the laundry mat here in Wells is old but clean and pleasant. I meant to do it a few days ago when I only had two loads, but now I’m up to three. I have a fun laundry mat story. Here is the link: click here.

The best part of my day was coming back to the campground to find a fire and my favorite Nathan’s hot dogs waiting for me! I have the best hubby. 

Dessert for Dinner

I remember over the years my parents referencing they had dessert for dinner. I guess with young kids at home and a driving need to fill them up with nutritious foods, it did not compute. 

Now that it is the two of us, sometimes dinner just doesn’t sound good, neither of us want to cook so every once in a while we have dessert for dinner, usually banana splits suffices. 

More Laughing With Flowers

The camp sites and fields around are just blooming with color!

Rocky Mountain Iris (part of the Asparagus family)

Arrowleaf Balsamroot (AKA Oregon Sunflowers)



Common Chokecherry ( part of prunus family, peaches plums and cherries) very bitter fruit but edible. 

Big!

Our son sent us pics of our grandson with an amazing donut 🍩. His big eyes say it all! I miss my little people. I miss my big people too! This little guy is so much like his Dad! 

Grandchildren are the best reward!

Thomas Canyon

We had a meeting at Thomas Canyon, about 100 miles away, and it was fun and informative meeting up with other camp hosts and seeing a different campground. 

Thomas Canyon USFS Campground

Here are some great pictures from our day trip. The campground has the prettiest stream flowing through it and many sites at water edge.
