Whew! Wedding season has kept me working hard, and I love every minute of it. I will have several blog posts featuring weddings from my spring season coming up soon. In the meantime, I’d like to show you what I did on one of my days off:
This was my first trip with our new raft. We put in on the Owyhee River not far from Jordan Valley. The weather was sunny and beautiful, and we had an awesome time. The scenery, flowers and beautiful colors were so cool, I just had to share. We are planning a longer float in a couple weeks so I will post more images soon.

A few shots on the raft:





After our float, we walked a few miles back to the truck:

I admit…the hike back took a bit longer than it should have…I kept getting distracted by all the pretty flowers. Tim got a little irritated with me, but he tolerated my enthusiasm:




Toward the end of the trail, there was a gorgeous meadow blooming with beautiful yellow sunflowers. They were HUGE!

We met up with one of the natives on our way out:


Yes…that is Tim holding the rattlesnake. He’s quite the snake charmer.![]()


After Tim let him go, the snake was a tad irritated:
The great weather only lasted a few hours. On our way back through Homedale, I took this picture of the flooded gas station from the storm that had just passed through.

We had a blast and are definitely looking forward to our next adventure!
