.... well I see I totally forgot to come finish my trip report! So how will I ever remember what all we did at Ken’s! I’ll try and hit the highlights!
Kelly spent time in Riverton and then went flying all over the US for K-Tec. He did get in on a few fun things tho! One day we loaded up side x sides and dirt bikes and lots of food and snacks, then headed up to the Big Horn Mountains. We joined up with 2 other families and had a total blast! Ended the day washing off the dust in a mountain stream and sitting around the fire eating and talking. Lots of beautiful views up there including moose and sheep and their herders and cattle that live up in the mountains for the summer. The other fun thing Kelly got in on was stock tanking! We once again loaded up lots of snacks and got the tank hauled down to the river behind Ken’s. We all piled in (all 9 of us) and headed down the river. Some floated in tubes for a bit while the sun was still up. We picked up Ty half ways down making it a grand total of 10 people plus chairs and food! We just kept bobbing along enjoying the beautiful scenery! I think we floated for about 3 hours before getting to our stopping point. Heaving everything up the steep bank proved to be very amazing! It was basically straight up but managed to get the tank up and then rolled it down the railroad track a little ways then had to get it tied onto the top of Katy’s jeep. We also had to back in the chairs and 10 people into the jeep! There was lots of yelling and many laughs but we managed to all cram in and ride the 30 minutes home.
Some other highlights: many hours of staining and sanding doors/trim for new offices, a bit of horse riding, many miles on golf carts/sidexside’s, floating or kayaking down the river, tie-dyeing shirts, park with friends, hot tubbing, looking for wild fires, Sunday spent along Shell Creek eating some amazing burgers and viewing the falls, also spent an afternoon and evening enjoying the Wild West town of Cody and taking in all things western! I’m sure I’m missing some wonderful things we did, but truly we had the best time ever! And was so nice to be there and not home by ourselves while Kelly was travelling!
We finally headed for home at some point. Got back to the vehicle in Fargo, it started and no flat tires so that was good! Got it loaded down and the kids and I headed for home while Kelly went on another business trip. We got to the border the nice lady happily told us to go home and quarantine and we said we would. Lol. We never left the yard but I won’t say if anyone came to visit or not. So ya.... that’s how we spent 7 weeks of 2020 summer!
