<\/p>\n

Winding up our Wild West road trip, we visited daughter Isabel <\/a>with her husband and new dog Rivers in Pinedale, Wyo. Rivers is a cute li\u2019l guy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They have nice old stringed instruments hanging on the wall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We went canoing on Green River Lake near Squaretop Mountain. We parked the canoes in some reeds and hiked into the back country to spend a night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I love the big granite rocks in the flowing mountain streams. It\u2019s kind of Zen, the stillness and the motion yoked together.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We found a great Forest Service bridge made of two logs. Somehow you wouldn\u2019t see a pristine bridge like that in California. It would be whipped or vandalized somehow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where we camped there was this lovely flat river winding across the high valley, a series of S-curves with the range in back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We boiled water for dinner; you can use an empty tin can for his light-weight cooking pan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rivers was only two months old, but he was very competent at getting around. Like you wouldn\u2019t let a two-month old human baby romp around on a cliff edge!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Isabel managed to climb Squaretop last summer, it took them two tries. It was hard for to find the way up to the top, none of her friends had ever been. Everyone was like, \u201cwalk up the back,\u201d\u009d but that leads to a dead end. You have to climb the side. Now we know!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I saw some really big ants by the lake. This picture\u2019s pretty blurred but I SmartSharpened the hell out of it with PhotoShop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our last night in Pinedale we had supper at Fremont Lake and went up on the ridge for the sunset to see the glistening ponds. I love Wyoming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
