A hug from Washington...

Hi Everyone,

Emma just wanted to give you all a hug.

Love, Carrie

Twin Sisters

The Twin Sisters were a famous California Trail landmark on the southern side of the City of Rocks. This area is 30 miles or so ("as the crow flies") north of the Golden Spike site. A stage coach station was established near here where coaches from Kelton, Utah stopped on their way to Oregon and Idaho before the railroad went to those places. Kelton, now a ghost town (at best) was a thriving railroad stop with hotels, stores, churches, etc. in the 1870s and 1880s.

Holed Up

Here's Ethan, Spencer, Kimberly and Amanda all holed up.

The Old Indian Head

This great rock can be seen from its WSW side. The old Indian is looking up at the Twin Sisters (not Amanda and Kim).

Saturday Feb 24 at City of Rocks

Amanda and Kimberly taking a look around. Two heads are better than none.




Iantha and I had Linda and Steve's kids for part of a weekend recently, so we took them to the City of Rocks on the Idaho / Utah border. Had a fine day, cold, but fair weather.

Correction on Mystery Date Revealed!

Things may have been premature. Luke & Lindsay are getting married on the 13th of July, not the 14th as previously announced. They changed their mind about the date, that's all.

Kevin

Another Wedding

Since Luke has not announced it here, he and Lindsay Larson are getting married on the 14th of July in Seattle.

They met in seminary in high school, dated a few times, and then she moved with her family to Michigan, and later to San Diego. She graduates from BYU this spring, and she and Luke are trying to figure out where Luke will go next to finish his schooling. For the record, he is attending the community college up here online, while actually living in Provo so he and Lindsay can be in the same state together for a change. He's applied to a number of different schools for the fall, so we'll have to see where they end up.

As parents, we are pretty excited about it. Well get you more details as soon as they think them up!

Good looking bowling kids, Robert. We keep working on trying to get more grandkids, but we seem to be stuck on one. Not that we are at all unhappy with the one.

Kevin

Bowling?

People still bowl?

Anyway, just wanted to post an alert to set aside July 13th or 14th for a very important event. More to follow.
