Winter is here. Time to play in the snow! Island Park, Harriman State Park, and surrounding areas of the Tetons and Yellowstone Park welcome skiers and snowmobilers to their winter playgrounds. The Rankin is closed, and Robert and I are enjoying our hibernation time together. Snow blankets the cabins.
Snow has always blanketed the cabins in the winter. This is a picture of them in the late 1930s. While I’m not sure who is posing with the black lab, the cabins we know and love are buried in white fluffy stuff in the background!
Another winter picture. This is one of my favorite pictures of D.K. (granddad) just back from the hunt. Cooked goose for dinner and delicious homemade bread from the oven. I use that same bread recipe and it’s still delicious.
Photography was one of mother’s favorite hobbies. And winter provided a quieter time and season to pursue this love. She captured simple, beautiful “winter moments” as she skied and hiked the snowy hills and fields with her pal Margaret.
I found this picture in a Christmas card mother had sent several years ago.
Margaret continues to ski and shared this picture in her Christmas card this year.
Robert is busy taking reservations for the coming summer. We’re excited to have 3 families from Fiji and several groups from France coming in July. Get your Travel Game Plan ON and let us know when you’re coming this summer! And as always, travel safely!
