SAWTELLE PEAK AND ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR


Sunday we went to the top of Sawtelle peak and then around the whole Island park reservoir in the RZR (it's a huge reservoir). It is 93 miles if your gonna do it don't use the google maps.  It was showing us roads that were old and covered and no longer in use. Doug knows the way we've been there a couple of times before and we always went back the way we came, on the west end but never making a loop, and coming back on the east side next to the highway.   Lucky there is 4 wheeler trails everywhere they brought us back all the way to were we needed to be to get back to home. We only had to get on that busy highway to cross a bridge, thank goodness.
I don't think we will go see Yellowstone park just because of the traffic.
On the way up to Sawtelle  peak the flowers were amazing. 
There are a lot of cranes here, they're in the lakes and rivers and streams eating fish and frogs.
Yesterday (Monday) we washed the RZR, took the motorhome to dump and got fresh water and made a trip to Rexberg for groceries and banking.
