Labor Day Weekend: Bridal Veil, Vernal Temple and Green River

 

Bridal Veil Falls is up Provo Canyon.  There is no longer a gandola.

Vernal Temple was built in the old tabernacle.  This would have been our temple had we stayed in Roosevelt.  When we lived in Roosevelt our temple was the Provo Temple

For Labor Day weekend we traveled north to go the the campgrounds where my brother served as the camp host.  This is in Brown's Hole.  We stayed in Bridge Hallow Campground.  He as the camp host stayed in Indian Crossing Campground.  John Jarvie Historical Ranch is between the two campgrounds.  Charlie took as on a float down the river.  Tony and Miranda had kayaks and we were in a river boat with Charlie.  He treated us to a hot dog and marshmallow roast one night at the ranch and showed us around.

Flaming Gorge Dam.  They no longer let you walk on the dam where you can see the other side.

I could have done better with pictures.  I missed taking pictures of Mark and the boys who joined us for the second night.  I also missed most of the John Jarvie Ranch.  There was some neat stuff there.  Mark and Tony and Elliott and Gus played in the river by the island behind our camp.  I took a chair and sat in the river and cooled my feet and my back side.  

We went to church in Dutch John.  Charlie was there as well.  It was so crowded we sat in the primary room.  Took a picture of a giant fish hook and of Flaming Gorge on our way out.
