Wow! Time flies!

Yep, time flies. The month of July went by way too fast for me but Karen and I had a wonderful time in the Greenville area exploring in her jeep. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance in the next few days but we are leaving to go to Mann Gulch on Sunday so I need to do it before then.

We got back on Sunday the 2nd of August and since then we have been busy getting the RV cleaned up and ready for the next trip and pulling weeds in the garden which were quite tall, I have to say. I had to dig up the Horseradish and those roots were very deep so that was a chore. We still have more to do but it's looking much better already. Oh, yard work... I thought I'd never have to do that again after I moved into a rental... shows you what I know.

Sunday we are going to Montana to visit Mann Gulch. I have been fascinated with the stories about the firefighters who died there in 1949, one year before I was born, for many years. Considering the proximity of Idaho Falls to Montana, it seems like a good time to try and go there. As it turns out the way to get there is by boat up the Missouri river so we might be renting a boat to be able to spend the time we need to see the place. There are guided tours available but you have to be on their timetable and we don't want to do that. We will have to see how this unfolds. Well, enough for now...
