Wyoming, Part II
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm so excited to be sharing the second part of our trip to
WY with you. After we packed up our campsite in Yellowstone, we headed straight towards Pinedale, WY where I used to work as a ranch hand. We checked into the cozy
Rivera Lodge, run by my friend Emi, and then headed out for some fly fishing lessons. The rest of the trip was spent on a horse pack trip in the Wind River Range. It was so fun to catch up with my boss Abi and experience a pack trip again. It was especially fun for me to see Steph experience it for the first time. He loved it and now we want to go back every summer!
Here I am (above) with my old dormitory in the background.
Here's Emi's lodge, the
Rivera. It's so cozy and charming and I wish we could have stayed a little bit longer. Emi makes a fantastic breakfast every morning, which you can enjoy around back overlooking the creek.
Here's Emi and her pup Bird.
Then it was off to fly fishing lessons for Steph!
Steph and his guide.
I like this look on Steph.
While Steph went fishing, I wrote postcards to my friends. I love sending out postccards when I go on trips.
Here's Old Red, Abi's car, that she parked at the coral as we packed up for our trip.
Here's one of the dogs, getting one last nap in before the work begins.
Here's my horse, Fancy.
A typical mountain dinner! Everything tastes so amazing at 12,000 ft.
Okay, how spooky is this image (taken on my iPhone)? Check out the goblin in the fire???? SO SCARY! I didn't sleep well the night I took this picture.
Most of our time was spent fishing, reading or taking naps in the sunflowers...it was so relaxing!
Of course I brought my hammock for lounging.
We took early morning treks to fly fish the lakes with our guide Mark.
And here's the crew back at the coral, from left Steph, Tiggy, Mark, Fancy and Abi.
