Hiya..
Wow we sure managed to fill the weekend with activity...and had a great time!
Saturday we rushed through worrk and then ran home showered and drove to Casper...the concert was just wonderful....hundreds of ppl who all celebrated Chris's life.....wonderful music and though I'm not a "believer" I figure his spirit felt the love we all felt for him.....we were just thrilled to be there and it was so special when they played a message from Garth Brooks honoring his friend and mentor ...it was way special and as we drove back we knew that there was closure for so may of us who knew this fine man.
So Sunday mornin we got up early and did our chores then loaded the atv's and headed over the mountain for a days ride. The drive was great, the mountain has snow in places but the road was dry and sun shinin...just beautiful. We drove to Castle Gardens, a BLM area that has a desert type terrain with amazing rock formations and beautiful open country.....its soooo quiet there....and we rode.....lol...and rode....did 45 miles. Its just beautiful being in a place with such peace and openess....you can see for miles and just feel the freedom such a place allows you to experience. I always think of the people who came across this area back in the 1800's as it was a trail used by Native People as well as white settlers...days of real freedom and self sufficency.....times gone in our world filled with rules and such.
Here are a few pictures.....those in citieds who read this can see what we experience living in wonderful Wyoming. Look carefully at the right side of this first picture and you can see the rock formation that looks so much like a head looking out watching over the plains to the mountains...we live on the other side of those mtns...

Love ya all
Kisses
