And now let us welcome the new year,
full of things that have never been.
Ranier Maria Rilke
New Year’s Eve, 2011. What a great year for us at The Rankin! A year full of family, and friends new and old. We welcomed all to the gorgeous country of the Tetons, Yellowstone, Harriman Park, and Bechler Meadows. We thank everyone who made us their “base camp” as they ventured into the hills to hike and fish. Shaded lawns, gas grills, tables and comfortable chairs were waiting at the end of their day trips!
Summer mornings were cool.
The highlight of our summer was the 2011 Thing Rallye. We hosted this fun group as they gathered from all over the country to travel through Yellowstone on to Mount Rushmore.
We were up at the crack of dawn as they lined up for us to take pictures!
And the best pictures for last:
My efforts in the flower beds was worth it as I battled slugs, ants, and earwigs!
Do plan on staying with us here at The Rankin Motel this summer 2012 as you travel through the paradise that surrounds Ashton, Idaho! We have comfortable rooms and cabins to relax in and beautiful grounds to enjoy. All of our rooms and cabins have coffee makers, refrigerators, microwaves and air conditioners. Dave’s market/gas station is next door to us and features an awesome bakery and deli for your convenience.
We look forward “to things that have never been.” Adventure waits! Travel safely!
