A few days after Scott and Ally returned home,
our neighbors from home came to visit and camp on our back forty for three
nights.
These are hardy folks.
Steve said Nancy really wanted to tent camp again. I wonder how she’ll feel about this after
three nights on the air mattress that fills the tent. We can provide showers and all the
amenities. I think Steve is thinking a
bright, shiny, new tin twinkie (aka Airstream trailer) would be really
nice. I’m thinking he may win her over
to that idea pretty soon.
We took them kayaking on Coulter Bay. Somehow I had this feeling that they might be
just like us in a tandem. Right on! If I could have played a tape of us in a
tandem and them in a tandem it would be word for word. I showed them the blog I wrote about our
first “divorce maker” event last year and they laughed till the tears
flowed. I just knew it!!! I think we’ll call them the Bickerlongs.
There’s no stress when there’s no paddling going on. At this point Ron was sitting in a pool of
water in the back seat of our rental tandem.
That’s not a good thing. Did I
mention “cold” water?
Looking good..
...but only for a moment.
Now that’s better.
Don’t even think about getting a tandem! We had a grand morning despite the stress of
the “divorce maker”.
Ron took Steve to Blacktail Ponds for a little spring creek
type fishing . The creek runs into the
Snake River.
The quest for the illusive fish.
The fires burning in Idaho are sending smoke over the
Tetons. It can make for some unusual skies. Fires and the west...they seem to go together
this time of year.
We really had fun with Nancy and Steve. We see an Airstream, two kayaks, fishing gear
(Steve has that), and a lot of fun ahead for them. We can just sense it. Sometimes you know!
