Hi All,
We celebrated Sandy's birthday with two short hikes. In the morning we hiked about 2.5 miles along the wetlands near Moose-Wilson Road. We had great views and lots of birds.
The lupine are beginning to bloom.
These cylindrical dirt formations are the winter work of pocket gophers. To avoid predators and harsh weather, they dig tunnels in the snow. Later, when they need to expand their underground burrows, they pack the dirt into the snow tunnels. When the snow melts, these dirt formations appear everywhere.
After lunch we hiked along a dirt road to an abandoned dude ranch overlooking the Snake River. We were treated to more mountain & wildflower views
and some neat old buildings. Notice the cloud formation in the upper right. Kind of spooky. We didn't notice it until we were reviewing the photos.
Dinner at Signal Mountain Lodge capped off a wonderful day.
On the way back to the coach we spotted the cow moose with twins. Those pictures will be in another email.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
