Liam's Trip to Wyoming Part I

 Liam's Trip to Casper 2013 Part I

In August of 2013 Liam met Grandma Stephens in Cheyenne and headed to Casper for hiis first solo trip  in Casper  with Grandma and Grandpa Stephens





After settling in and getting a good nights sleep we had an early breakfast and headed for Muddy Mountain.


Arriving at our trailhead, we found the raspberries were ripe and had a quick snack before heading up the trail.
 We loaded up our packs and headed out. We crossed,creeks meadows and dark rocky forests and the going was tough but Liam kept up and followed the thin winding trail into the wilderness.
We finally reached  the Wikiup

 Nice view of the valley below and the beaver ponds
 Liam rested up in the hammock while Grandpa fixed lunch


For lunch we had boiled jerky with Ramen Noodles. Liam said the noodles were REALLY good  but was hesitant about eating the jerky, so I explained that the jerky was what gave the noodles the gourmet flavor and he would need all that tasteful nutrition to make the trip back down the mountain. He realized that grandpa was right about that boiled jerky and it was pretty good. 
After lunch we posed for a group picture





One last look at the valley and we headed back to town






I never remember to wipe the chocolate before pictures







We took a back road down and  found the Mother load of berry patches
so we ate all we could and gathered some for Grandma.



The End 
Part I
