What an absolutely gorgeous day God has given us! Not a cloud in the sky, warm temps, and his beautiful mountains for us to enjoy....what a gift....and one I needed so badly.

My friend Esther and I started the day out scrapbooking, so Willie took off on an adventure of his own....hiking the rail bed, taking along his fishing and goldpanning gear....guess he wanted to be prepared.

Well, the beautiful weather kept beckoning so Esther and I packed up our scrapbooking and, along with her husband Lee, we set out for a casual walk down to the river. Our casual walk turned into more of a hike as we kept going further and further....climbing over rocks and trees to get our next view of the fast-moving and ever-changing river.

These are just a few of the beautiful vistas we encountered on our trek....can't wait to go again!
