Canoeing

While canoeing down the Tongue River we found an old abandoned house.
It was amazing, it had the view of the Big Horn Mountains, the river in the front pasture, and it was beautiful structure. It amazes me that houses are left to rot like this one.

It had a fleet or army, I should say, of mosquitos watching it harbor though..  

There were alot of sand bars to stop and get out of the canoe and swim. Lots of fresh water mussles, we even had a blue heron flying along the river in front of us during our journey.

Elk Refuge

Playing by the stream, enjoying what Nature brings.
We swam, ate lunch, watched clouds, panned for Gold, and even went through knife safety with our youngest who is 4 1/2 years old.
It was refreshing and therapeutic. The peace that a place can bring is so wonderful.
Can place bring peace?
