Camping and Riding Marysvale 2020




Sometimes when you want to get out, you have to invite yourself and just tag along.  That's what we did with our Marysvale trip.  Marc and two of his neighbors and friends' families were going camping at Marysvale; we tagged along.  We stayed at the Hoovers Campground, which we love, rode the rzr, hiked a little, and did a whitewater river raft trip.  One of the friend's wife was a Hatch triplet that I helped Meridee (her mother) take care of, change diapers and feed.  What a small world.  She has grown into a beautiful young lady and mother.

It was fun to interact with our grandchildren, eat smores and get smokey by the fire each night.  On Sunday, we taught our family history zoom class and it was the first time in three months that it has rained.  The rain poured down on the bowery tin roof and we had to shout to be heard.  Interesting the things we can do now; be in the middle of nowhere and teach a gospel class.  My how things have changed in these last 8 months; who knows what else will happen.

These pictures are from the hike to Bullion Falls.  In the early 1900's there was a lot of gold mining activity in Marysvale.  These falls are just above a big mining area.



Does Kacy's face tell you how the hike was going?

We started out the raft trip at the company across the street from Hoovers.  The owner was just new this year and did his best to take care of our large group.  Here we are getting ready to raft.
This is down at the river just before we pushed in.

Now this is what I call relaxation on a water bed.  Kacy is totally alseep.  Tyce is loving every minute of this adventure.




Marc, Brittney and all the kids took a 5-mile bike ride on Marysvale's great bike trail.  The started near our campground and ended up at the old railroad tunnel.  Theron and I drove down to meet them and then "drove" them home.  You don't want to do 10-miles.  Kacy had just learned to right her bike without training wheels



A New Year - 2024

 As with all new years, I approach it with some goals in mind and expecting changes to occur in both our life and the lives of our family.  ...
