Spring Camping

A weekend away. We drove to Lander, Wy to the Windriver Mountains. We camped at the Popo Aggie campsite in the Sinks Canyon. It was gorgeous. The weather was perfect and the mountains were green and fresh. We hiked around the sinks and checked out all the trail heads. Because it was still early in the season, the main road up the mountain was closed due to snow, but that did not slow us down. We enjoyed the canyon and trails that were open.









Our campsite was right near the Popo Agie River. We had enough room for William to run around without being to close to the water. And William did love the room. Be climbed on rocks and piled up sticks and tried to eat the dirt.

He even got to help dad make a fire...





and set up the tent.



That night we slept in the back of the truck. The temperature had dropped drastically and the camp ranger came round to tell everyone that there was a chance of snow. We were not too concerned.



But come morning, we woke up to a blanket of snow on the ground and large flakes still falling.



By the time we had breakfast there was a good 4-6 inches on the ground. Because Eddie's truck was only two-wheel drive, we thought it best to pack up and head into Lander.
We went to a great little PCA church were we met some wonderful people and even had lunch with a few couples.
We were not ready to go home yet since Monday was a holiday for Eddie, so we rented a motel room and enjoyed a lazy Sunday afternoon watching cable and our child tear apart the room.
