Playmill Theater to see The Foreigner

It was time to go to the Playmill Theatre in West Yellowtone. Before we go-Pedra on the left, Chatfield on the right and Doug in the middle-decided to have their pictures taken.
The Foreigner is a comedy. You can read more about it at The Playmill website at http://www.playmill.com/.

The Playmill fills up on most nights, so reservations are highly recommended. The other shows for this summer are Disney's Beauty and the Beast and the classic Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Big Springs

Big Springs, located in Island Park, Idaho, produces 12 million gallons of water a day and forms the headwaters of the Henry's Fork of the Snake River.

On the other side of the river sits a cabin built in the 1930's by Johnny Sacks, a German immigrant. In 1981, it became a National Landmark.

We were there after-hours so the cabin was closed for the day.

A water-wheel built by Johnny provides electricity and water to the cabin.

Doug stands at the mouth of the Snake River.

The diagram below shows you the area.

There are a lot of these birds around the area.

We walked about 4 miles on a trail and old abandoned railroad tracks.

These flowers won't have long to bloom as winter comes quickly around here.

Doug demonstrates the internet is available almost everywhere.

In the distance, the bridge to Big Springs.

The bridge has vending machines for food for fish and other scavengers who wait patiently along the bridge.

After a day of sightseeing, it was time to visit Big Jud's in Ashton, Idaho. If you are hungry, you won't be after you eat here.

Here's why: The Big Jud 1 Pound Burger with everything, especially an old fashioned milkshake with extra milkshake served on the side in the tin milkshake cup.

Fire and Rescue Cookout Fundraiser

Before we headed to work today, we stopped by the fire department's cookout. It was $5 for a hamburger, chips and a drink.

West Yellowstone had several things going on for the 4th of July. A community garage sale was followed by a town parade in the afternoon. The evening included entertainment in the city park and concluded with fireworks at 10pm.

The fireworks began just as we left work.

Believe it or not, these are all the pictures.
