Finally, to the Mountians!!!

We finally made it to the mountains!!! We were so excited to get up there. We were able to head up there Friday. Clark's' parents have some property up in the southern part of Idaho (Bear Lake/Montpelier area) that we have camped at for the last 8 or 9 years. We take our trailer up there and camp all summer, except now that we don't live in Utah anymore, we enjoy it for a few weeks, so we were really hoping to get up there sooner. We got up there and there was still snow on the road to the top. The first picture was taken the middle of May, they say the drift was twelve feet tall. The other picture was taken Friday June 6th, it has melted but I couldn't believe there was still snow. We like to take the 4-wheelers over to North Canyon but we couldn't yet because of the snow on the roads. It is the beginning of June you would think the snow would be gone.Hopefully we can get over there soon. While we were up there we got rained on, snowed on, hailed on, and the sun also came out. It was cold but then again I have been living in Alabama for the last eighteen months, where it has been on the warm to hot side. We had a fire to see if we could get warm, it kind of worked except we had a few hail storms while we sat out there around noon on Saturday. It was bizarre! I would say the weather in Utah changes all the time except we were in Idaho.

It still looks like so much fun. I don't know how much, if any, of that kind of fun I will get to participate in this summer - but if I have anything to say about it, I will still be roughing it a few times this summer (baby and all)!
