Out for an Explore by Myself; Later, a Search for the Perrine/Coulee Falls

Jer had an early wakeup to go golfing with about 12 folks here; I was planning on sleeping in and having a great slow morning just for me!  Couldn't get back to sleep, figures, so I left for a walk, which was smart, cuz that early it was already 69 degrees out.  I could see there's a HUGE Mormon Temple here... used that spot as a destination then went wandering the neighborhood.  Man oh man, some BIG and EXPENSIVE houses around the temple.  As I ventured out further, very nice homes, but not quite as opulent as the ones I saw earlier.

Got back home, had some brekky, decided I'd get Ruby washed up and go charge her.  Car wash, done; charging happening; time for a walk along the Snake Canyon Rim.  So pretty... walked back to the car, saw Jerry was there (they dropped him off after golfing at the charging station) and looked at the car!  OH DANG... a super thick coating of dust.  Right behind the station, there was construction happening and a front loader was scrapping the dry, rocky dirt... creating it's own dust storm.   Oh well, not the end of the world.

Got some lunch and drove to the Perrine-Coulee Falls. Took some time to get to the right spot... one time GPS was not the greatest.  Gonna go back tomorrow and try to hike behind them.  They say it's possible and we saw a path there.

Checked into our B&B, rested up a minute or so, and then met up with our friends for a ride out to enjoy their family's Hot Dog Dinner... A very nice way to top off the day! 








Isn't this a cute shed J created... it's had many lives on the property, and was moved by the creek and now has all sorts of "Paint by Numbers" portraits on the wall... Way fun!
The creek is really a Coulee, water which flows throughout the area providing irrigation and flood mitigation or something like that... Even in the neighborhood I walked in earlier, I could see and then hear under them, grates with water flowing quickly.
