TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL - OR - RETURN TO GIRDWOOD

Last Saturday (our preparation day) we loaded into the car with a lunch and headed for Girdwood again. This time, rather than stopping and seeing everything along the highway, we drove directly to Girdwood and went into town. It's very difficult to ascertain that there is a town there, as everything is pretty much obscured by trees. But, we did get a few pictures in the town.

This is the first view we saw after coming into town.
Same view, without the zoom.
another "unzoomed" view
Sister Campbell took a couple of the above and I
took a couple.
more prettiness!
Gasp! Ooh! Aah!
This is the mountain we were looking at while we ate lunch.
Looking toward the school from where we ate lunch.
Sister Campbell found a path through the forest and we
found Glacier Creek. CREEK! It is at least four times
larger than the Provo RIVER.
The water was rather milky. I guess that comes from
melting from a glacier.
The Girdwood airport is across the creek from where
were standing.
The north end of the airport
When Jake and colette were here, they took the Kids
up the chair seats to the outlook. Impressive.
Lift! Lift!
Up! Up! and away!
I loved the fern plants growing all over the place.
Pretty Condos.
A lady walked by with her dogs. The one above
was named "Little Foot." Cute pooch!
This one was 17 years old and was named
Goliath. He was very slow and docile.
A small street and circle with the same name of one of our best friends, DeEtte Laker Lyons. She should be delighted with this picture when she receives it from us.
