Dave and I just got back from a fun filled trip to Wyoming. We started in Kemerer Wyoming.
Kemerer is the home of the very first JC Penney store.
Next we headed to Thermopolis Wyoming. Here they have the world's largest mineral hot springs.
We walked around Hot Springs State Park. It was quite pretty, but a little stinky.
The hot springs and the river were neat, but the real reason we were in Thermopolis was for the Wyoming Quarter Horse Sale.
Our son Clay has been working for Bill Smith in Thermopolis all summer getting some of these horses ready for the sale.
There were so many pretty horses.

Yes, that is Wilford Brimley. He likes to help out at the auction.
Several weanlings, yearlings and two year olds were at the sale from the Bartlett Ranch which is in LaGrange Wyoming. The two year olds were part of the colt breaking clinic that Clay was part of in June. He helped start a couple of them.
The young horses were cared for and shown by a group of really good horse women. They worked with and trained these horses all summer.

Leave it to Clay to find a girl for himself.
After the sale we took a drive to Greybull Wyoming to see friends.
We took a ride with our friends in the Big Horn Mountains to check on their horse herd.
Yes, they made the women ride in back. But we had the refreshments.

Yes, this happened. We took a little dip in the creek. This just added to the adventure and fun of the day.
No one was hurt and we found this mis-hap pretty funny. Looking at the picture it occurs to me that the driver isn't nearly wet enough.
The scenery on the mountain was incredible.
We found the horses. They were beautiful.
We get many of our horses from here. Now I see why they are so good in the mountains. This is where mares, foals and young horses spend the summer.

As you can see, I really enjoyed the horses.
We left Greybull, drove over the Big Horn Mountains and on to Devil's tower.

Our friends own the Devil's Tower KOA and have a ranch there as well. They toured us around. We saw more beautiful country.
Our Wyoming trip was great. We got to see where Clay spent the summer, spent time with great friends and saw some wonderful country. I love Wyoming!
