Cabin Essence

After Yellowstone, we traveled to Powell WY for the night. It was a good place to stay because this little town has a very neat museum with a caboose and some tractors for kids to explore. It also had many artifacts my mom remembers having or remembers her mom and grandmother using. The curator's son, Josh, showed Camden around and I began to question his expertise when he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and held it out to me saying, "look....this is sand from the olden times..." It was fun.


We spent the next few days in the Big Horn Mountains in North Eastern Wyoming. It was a chance to stay in one place a few days, enjoy the mountains, and see my Grandpa Thrush for a few days. Here is the cabin where we stayed.



Camden, Grandma, Shelby, and Great Grandpa Thrush.

The lodge had a small pond that was open for fishing. It was peaceful to sit there and watch Camden try fishing with Grandpa Cochran.
The lodge also had a pool that Camden enjoyed. Shelby was too small to go swimming (potty trained kids only...) so she helped me do laundry and watch the mounted animal heads on the wall.

We saw a couple of moose, but didn't get a good picture of either one. We did, however, see lots of black tailed deer.Finally, Steamboat Rock stands out as you drive down the mountain toward Sheridan.
