Our wonderful nephew Austin, his lovely wife Hailey, and their adorable daughter Olivia came up to the cabin for a fall visit this past weekend. Upon their arrival, he cooked the most delicious meal of fajitas for his mother (my sister Lorraine) and I. <br />

My sister Lorraine and I opened the cabin on Thursday. We each brought a few projects to work on, expecting the weather to be less than optimal. But we were wrong. The weather was <i>amazing</i>. Nonetheless, one of the projects was to make Blanche Rottluff's Pickled Green Cherry Tomatoes. I found this recipe in an old cookbook in the public library when we lived in Sparks, Nevada, and I had a garden full of green tomatoes by the end of that growing season. </div>

I don't know how well you can read this recipe, so I will tell you how we made them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First you clean and sort as many green cherry tomatoes as you have. You want them to be firm and without blemish. They need to be pierced two or three times each with a small skewer. </div>
<div>

<br />
<div>
Then you put 3 whole black peppercorns and one small clove of garlic, or the equivalent, in each half-pint jar. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Put the tomatoes in the jars to within one inch of the top. I put them into a frying pan of water to get everything plenty hot so they will seal. Once your lids, the brine and the jars are boiling start filling the jars, wiping the rims on each one, and add the lid and ring one at a time. Set aside to cool and seal. I do only one jar at a time to keep things nice and hot and to make better sure they will seal. Pickles are funny that way. </div>

We ended up with about two dozen jars. You may be wondering what I do with these. Well, they taste a bit like green olives. The recipe says "they make an unusual cocktail snack, served plain or with a dip or skewered on toothpicks with squares of sharp cheddar". That is how I serve them, on a cheese board with a toothpick and on top of a cube of sharp cheddar approximately the same size as the tomato during the holidays. It is fun to have the other party goers try to guess what they are. No one ever guesses correctly. They are quite tasty, but if I eat more than about three, my rings are tight the next day. </div>

The scouts from our home ward came to Island Park for their high adventure this year. While they did not stay with us, we were able to support them a bit. They floated the river twice,<br />

Ivy is the one in the pink chair. She was pulled along by one of the kayaks. There was some question as to whether they would make it under the bridge okay, but as you can see they did. <br />

I wish I had taken a picture of it last year. It had worn down badly and had huge potholes that were two feet deep. A car could lose a bumper on that short piece of road. The truck and trailer had an awful time negotiating the holes. <br />

Tonight three of us went on an ATV trip to Two Top Mountain. I had not been there in 35-ish years, and have been looking forward to this for a long while. Brian and his friend Brent, drove and I rode on the back of Brian's. <br />

The smell and sight of the flowers in the meadows on the way up was amazing. The views from the top were a little hazy from fires in Oregon, but breathtaking nonetheless.<br />

As I wandered around at the end of the trail, which actually ends before reaching either of the two tops, I stumbled upon a geocache. When we opened it up there was a bit of history. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There was a nice picture of several people in their riding gear with someone who had since died. There was a real nice monument to his memory not far from where the geocache was stowed. His name was Brad Hill.<br />

What a great place for a memorial. Very thoughtful of people who miss him. A few minutes of searching on google yielded nothing to tell me about this man. He was 51. A mystery for now.<br />

On the way back down we saw several groups of pine trees which appeared to be multi-generational. The ones in the very center were the tallest and some were dead, with a circle around them of shorter trees, encircled around the bottom by little trees. In between the circles there were trees of intermediate heights. They looked like they were having a family reunion.<br />

After 4 days of sleeping, eating, resting, and reading, I am finally among the living again. Tonight Scott and Brian wanted to fish in the Park, so I decided to go along and do a little hiking. I was wishing I had brought my bike along but my hike was very nice, just the same. Since I had not done a bit of exercise since last Saturday when I rode my bike 36 miles, my muscles were a bit off and it took a good half mile to loosen them up. <br />

While they fished on the Firehole River, I hiked to Fairy Falls along the trail that goes behind Grand Prismatic Spring. <br />

It was a lovely evening. I saw a few deer and some birds, but luckily no bears.<br />

We left the river at dark and went in search of a den of fox kits, but it was too dark to get any pictures. We could barely see them in the dark, but it was fun to see what we could of them.<br />

It doesn't take much for us to get excited to head north, so they put it together and off we went. My camera battery died when we went into the park, so of course we had a great day and saw lots of bears and elk and bison. Here are some pictures of us at the cabin and on a walk along the river, though. <br />

For Valentine's Day weekend we went up to the cabin. There wasn't much snow and it was difficult to ski on because it had been thawed and frozen so much. It hadn't snowed since December, but we were able to snow shoe along the river. Brian actually got stuck on the ATV with tracks twice trying to lay tracks for the skis with our track setter behind the ATV.<br />

A highlight was on a drive back from West Yellowstone when we saw this snow sailor. We only got a glimpse of the rider but could see his or her sail floating along the sky next to the road. Pretty cool, eh?<br />

A large dirt parking area and fire pit greet you as you drive into the area. Several large rocks rim the parking area, just right for children to climb on. There are no toilet facilities, so don't forget to bring some t.p. along with some flip flops to wade into the water with.<br />

Today we went into West Yellowstone to ride. We found the Frontier Trail and followed it all the way around the outside of the city. It covers about 4 miles of trails through the trees and is very flat. This would be a very good trail for the grandchildren when they are a bit older, like 8-10 years and older.<br />

Brian and I came up Thursday night for the weekend. The weather has been lovely at home and it looked like a promising forecast, so we brought the bicycles back up for some exercise. <br />

This afternoon we rode down to the boat launch, over the bridge, around to the springs and the Johnny Sack cabin and back. Standing in the spring we spied these two wonderful moose, wearing their winter coats. <br />

There is a tree at Big Springs that I have looked at and thought about. I have named it 'The Tree of Life' because the spring seems to boil out right at its roots. Since there was no one around, I climbed down to the base of the tree to get a closer look and some pictures.<br />

The spring does in fact come out of the ground right by the roots of this large tree. It reminds me of the 'Tree of Life' we read about in the scriptures, though I'm sure not as glorious. This spring runs 365 days a year at a constant 52 degrees F. The green moss and watercress are always growing there. It is a constant in this sometimes harsh environment, giving life to all who wander by or seek it out. In the scriptures, the Tree of Life represents the love of God, a constant in our harsh environment, giving us life and love each time we seek it out. <br />

That night Austin, Hailey, Olivia and Nick came after dark. On Saturday we planned to go canoeing on the river, however, the weather did not cooperate. After lunch we took a field trip to Mesa Falls. As soon as we left, the weather cleared and it was beautiful. <br />

When we got back Colby, Krystle, Starly, and Degan had arrived. The bad weather returned, so our plans were scrapped again for a canoe trip. It wasn't long before we had thunder, lightening, and hail that collected and looked like snow! It looked like and smelled like Christmas. All this on the 30th of August.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Later we had a yummy dinner Lorraine made, and then played games until bedtime.

I'm thinking beside the front door. Or on the deck side of the house. Or beside the new french doors. Or by the back door. So many options! We will post a picture as soon as it is hung.

This week should have been called maintenance week. But that would make it sound like we only do maintenance one week each summer, and wouldn't <i>that</i> be nice! But besides all the projects we tackled, we did them in the rain. Three days of rain.<br />

Today we decided to find Wade Lake. Scot and Kris went there last week and said it was beautiful with clear, deep blue water terrific for kayaks. When we woke up it was raining, though. As the day progressed it cleared off so we left about 2:00 pm with one canoe on the truck.<br />

As we got off the highway and onto the dirt road, the skies were threatening. And then it rained.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After about an hour's drive, we found the lake. It was lovely even from far off. The rain was lifting and so were our hopes of getting on the water.<br />

We found the water just as described, clear, deep, blue, with many fish and ducks. There was a fish ladder at the south end along with some springs.<br />

The campground had three campsites right on the water, which would be perfect for taking the family to for the day. The beach was not sand but small gravel. The water was shallow near the shore but rocky in some places, so water shoes would be needed.<br />

There was even a resort there with at least four well maintained cabins and water craft for rent. Fishing is permitted on all but one small section of the lake at the south end where the fish ladder is. We did not explore the north end, as the skies were again threatening and spitting.<br />
<br />
We will bring families back here with children who are elementary school aged and up. Canoes and kayaks for sure. Everyone will need water shoes and life jackets. A lunch and camp chairs are a must.<br />

The menu is determined by the night you are there. We were there on a Monday so prime rib was on the menu. Potatoes and honey glazed carrots were the sides. The lemonade was wonderful! It was only slightly sweetened with sugar so it was good and tart. There were sugar packets at the salad bar for coffee if you chose to sweeten it up more. <br />

Then I had them fill in an empty United States map with all the states they could remember from our license plate game we played while we were in YNP. They had filled out one before we went to the park so I was anxious to see if our game improved their knowledge of US geography. All the kids improved tremendously, with the exception of RJ, who knew them all before we went into the park! </div>
