On the Way to Chesterfield

On Labor Day, Boyd and mom and I took a quick trip to Chesterfield, Idaho.
We stopped at Flags West for breakfast and waited FOREVER!  Then Boyd took us on a side trip past some highlights we were glad we didn't miss.

This is at a place I think is called Red Rock Pass. You can see the northern end of where Lake Bonneville once was.



 A praying mantis greeted us at the top.
 The view from the top.







 There is also a small cemetery to the side of the big hill.
 Then we found a newer site which explained all about the Bear River Massacre.

 It overlooked the valley where the massacre happened.

 These two are a good pair when visiting museums and the like.  They read EVERY word on EVERY display.













 Then we took a drive through all kinds of farmland that Boyd used to spend the summer combining. It was fun to learn of all the places he went and how they stayed in a little trailer.
He remembered this gorge that pretty much just appears out of nowhere.










 The final town before we arrived at Chesterfield.  Already forgot the name of it.

 The dang magpies are eating more cat food than the cat(s).
