Steven’s trip to Boise, Part 2

My brother Steven visited Callan (Serenity) and Chirstina, and sent me a 3-part email about it, complete with pictures. Yes, you too can be famous – just send me a blog entry and I’ll be happy to post it.

The photos from Part 1 didn’t come through in the automated emails in my first attempt last night. I fixed it about an hour later and sent a second email. The photos should be working in the second email. If not, you can always go directly to my site, https://turning51.com/

And now, from Steven:

Picking up where we left off… camping at Badger Creek!
Serenity and Chirstina had a large tent, while I borrowed an old one-person tent of Serenity’s:

Here we are setting them up:

Then, after a delicious camp dinner cooked over the Coleman by Chirstina, we made a fire… for smores, of course!  Here we are whittling sticks.

The next morning, after another fire, Serenity and I took a little hike up the hill across the road.

We paused for photos by the rock (remember that one from the other photo?) then continued to the top.  Here’s a shot of Serenity coming up after me. You can see the rock, the road, and the camp below.

Once on top, I took some nice shots of the river and the campground.

Then I took a bunch of pictures of the local wildflowers, because I liked those:

That will have to do for part 2 since I’m out of embedded pictures. I’ll complete the trilogy later.  
Best,Steven
