Now known as the 'Pioneer Park Narrows' but will always be knowns as the crack in the wall to me :)
I climbed through the entire thing as a child but with my terrible ankles I never even attempted to get close to it....until this year! Thanks to my ankle surgery, I was able to climb around and I even got about six feet into the crack before stopping- I didn't want to get stuck! LOL I am NOT a kid anymore. It was definitely a great day!
I grew up in Southern California and so I grew up round cacti. Wyoming has cactus to but it is not near as pretty as this!! I just had to take some pics!
I finally crossed an item off my bucket list- I took my boys hiking in Zion National Park! This national park is dear to my heart because my grandpa is one of three people who were born in the park!! Campsite C1 of the Watchman Campground still has the cement pad of his home's back porch (show later down in the photos!) I got to camp in C2 where his family garage used to be! So exciting to camp out under the looming Watchman mount and to stand under the black pecan tree that my grandpa planted as a boy.... one of only two trees that remains of the vast orchard his family used to have in the Watchman campground area. It has sure changed since he was born 88 years ago!
and of course the best laugh.....
Lander, WY- the weekend of the 4th we headed over to Lander for an amazing air and car show! I love the sounds of flying planes- growing up next to China Lake Navel Air Weapons Base will do that to a person -lol All the flying tests and drills were the sounds of the my childhood. Nothing makes me feel like a kid again like the the sound of a plan breaking the sound barrier- sadly that was one sound missing from the Lander event but it was a blast anyway!!!
There was also a car show will some pretty cool old cars- this Edsel was my favorite photo
- summer days are the best!
Happy Birthday to me! A full blood moon and a lunar eclipse?! How lucky can a girl get? Well, not too lucky because I tested positive for Covid the next day!! LOL! Oh well, I did get a chance to see the awesome moon show!
