Today - December 15, 2014

We watched the snow fall all day long yesterday,
and this morning we woke up to a
Winter Wonderland in Wyoming!
 
It's always hard to tell exactly how much snow has fallen because the wind blows it around so much, but on the Grovers' front porch is a bench where we could measure it at its deepest.
 
 10.5" !
 
 Devil's Gate looks much as it would have when the handcart pioneers were in this area . . .

. . . and Independence Rock might have looked like this . . .
. . . or this . . .
 
Even the sagebrush got covered with snow and then froze, making each plant more like a boulder.  I can't imagine having to pull a handcart through it! 
Our dear pioneers were amazing! 
 
We still invite you to come and see us here . . . 
. . . but you'd better hurry! 
Exactly one month from today our mission will be completed, and we will be heading back to Salt Lake.
