Shoshone Trail Day 2 - 3
Day 2 - We met "Ranger Rick" at the Golden Spike NHS who told the campers the story about the historical significance of May 10th, 1863 where the President of the Central Pacific RR Leland Stanford and the Vice President of the Union Pacific RR Thomas Durant met to drive in the spikes where East and West were joined.
Down the road from the Golden Spike we brought the campers back to present day and they climbed in and on the rockets at the ATK Rock Garden. It shows the history of rocket propulsion since the 1950's. The boosters from today's space program are all made there.
The campers help to prepare meals too as you can see the boys are shucking fresh locally grown corn-on-the-cob for dinner!
A stop to stretch their legs and take pictures of the beautiful wildflowers that grow at the Bear Lake Overlook. The lake is known as the Caribbean of the West...as you can see by the aquamarine colored water in the background.
