What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Vedauwoo in Medicine Bow National Forest

 Vedauwoo are some interesting rocks.  I took pictures from the Long Tree view area.  However there are better views to the west.  This is between Laraie and Cheyenne.

Laramie Wyoming, Murals, Downtown etc

 It seems people in Laramie Wyoming are obsessed with fish.  There are many murals with the theme of a stream of fish.

Lyman Wyoming Rest Area, both East and Westbound.

 In Wyoming rest areas are usually accessible from both directions of travel.  This rest area is close to Wyoming.  The rest areas always have some notification regarding the local wildlife.  This rest area also has a memorial to Mormon pioneers.

Views of Montpelier Idaho

 Montpelier Idaho is a very interesting community.  It was founded a few years after the communities in Cache Valley were founded.  There is an informational bulletin about Butch Cassidy, lots of stuff about bears, including Old Ephraim, a new temple, the National Oregon/California Trail Center, The Butch Cassidy Museum in the old bank he robbed, The Heritage Park Murals, notice about the second bank, and original movie theatre.
