A large group of motorcyclists and other vehicles passed through Mink Creek on August 24 as they remembered and honored fallen veterans from world conflicts. This Ride For the Fallen started in Elk Ridge Park in North Logan, went through Preston up Strawberry Canyon. Their goal was to noon in Paris, ID, for a break, then rode through Logan Canyon, back to the park. Most of the bikes included driver and passenger there were others participating in following cars.
The family of Dana and Charles Peterson of Meridian came down for a weekend to her parents, Jimmie and AnnaBeth Olson. Their oldest son, CJ, was introducing his fiance to Mink Creek family and friends.
Robert and Phee Crosland took a road trip to Worland, WY, to spend a few days with their daughter Celina and Jesse Groesbeck and their little girls. Grandparenting is a fun activity. They discovered how beautiful that area is and had family fun. On their way home they stopped in Thermopolis and did some exploring.
The Fall Social for the community was enjoyed by nearly 200 people. It was held at the Mink Creek Ballpark and featured a tasty dinner of tri-tip and brisket, accompanied by Dutch-oven potatoes, beans, green salad and rolls. Clare Christensen and his crew and Stuart Ostler’s bunch were the main cooks for the evening. There was live musical entertainment--a duo called “Carter Junction” that are located in May, ID, an area close to Challis. The Carters are a young married couple that have three little boys who contribute in their own way to the Carter’s performance. After several disruptions to their presentation Clinton Carter asked if there was anyone in the audience that might be willing to entertain the boys for a bit while they finished up. Elsie McKague jumped at the chance and off to the playground they went. She had a great time with the trio, and Clinton and Sarah, on guitar and harp, finished up the evening in grand style.
Our backyard squirrel is having a busy time gathering summer apples and stashing them high in a tree in the yard. This creature makes for entertainment in his endeavors and so far seems to have avoided any serious meetings with our cat. I have heard some squirrel 'cursing' when the cat is too inquisitive, but so far both are enjoying the freedom of the orchard. Time will tell.
