Powder Valley

On Saturday after a morning session at the temple I went with a friend and his kids to the Powder Valley Nature Conservation.  It is a beautiful place one that must be amazing in the midst of fall color.  There is a small museum there that has displays about nature, wildlife, the water system, etc. and then there are nature trails.  We took two of the trails - one was 1 1/5 miles and the other a 1/3 if I recall.  We all seemed to have fun walking up and down the small hills and taking turns taking lots of pictures.  Some of those pictures made it into my post on nature.  Looking at them most of them are hard to tell who took them so I will not take credit for any of them in particular.  It was very peaceful and relaxed, definitely a place to go back to in the spring to see the new growth and green leaves.  We saw several sets of deer that were pretty tame, very used to humans.  Later we went on a "adventure" with the GPS to find Baskin Robins and after passing it and turning around we found it hidden in a nook of a strip mall.  It was a fun day.  I hurried home and listen to the adult session of conference which was amazing.  It was a very good day.
