Bishop Parker and his wife Marilyn and several men from Rupert 3rd Ward took the Young Men ages 14-18 to Redfish Lake near Stanley, Idaho for 4.5 days for their high adventure campout. They boated, ate, kayaked, ate, swam, ate, hiked, ate, biked and ate. Rick and Marilyn cooked for them all and had lots of snacks in between times. The boys were good to help with whatever was asked of them.

We drove up to Custer City - an old mining town that is on the Yankee Fork -and is a small tourist attraction along with the gold dredge. You can take tours in the dredge now.


A bear decided to visit the campsite the 3rd and 4th night. Even tho we had put things away, we forgot a few items and the bear decided to go through a few more things and leave us a big bear paw print . . . . . He did not leave any licorice for us or peanut butter, or lemonade! AND he made a mess~





Sam's 20th Birthday. Shaura and boys put up signs at DI for him and Mom brought cookies.
4th of July Parade in Rupert - It was 60 degrees outside!
And we even found BRACE Road but it was in Pennsylvania - Bradford County, south of Elmira, NY. It was an adventure to find it!! GPS and Sariah helped!

Very hilly country. They have to blaze a trail just to put telephone/ electric poles up. You can see the cut through the foliage on the right of the picture.
And we found Samuel Brace's gravesite along with his family in Dalton, New York - not too far from Nunda. Samuel is Marilyn's 3rd GGfather.
We found Nunda, New York - Where Marilyn's Dad Brace was born.
Some of the scenery going to Nunda, NY. Windmills on top of a hill. Lots of foliage on hills in the East.
