It's Kings Creek at Bryce National Park again




It was another great week at Kings Creek. This year our hosts were Gary and Mel. There was a lot of good trail riding, fishing, shared meals, games, singing and campfire camaraderie. We were joined by Dan and Marilyn, cousin Don, Dave and Doug and George, Sergio and Sarah, Bill and Brenda, Roger with Alex and Ben, and Royce and Gina with Bryan and Christina. Roger was voted chili master for this year with a turkey chili.
And the Joneses, surprised everyone by getting into and winning the finals of the first annual Kings Creek horseshoe tournament. In the doubles tournament, Carol and Roger won the finals over the "Double Ds"- Don and Doug. While Mark beat Gary in a very close singles tournament. Everyone really enjoyed both tournaments and I'm sure we'll see it again.
We had planned to travel on to Yellowstone NP, but the cough I took to Kings Creek, transferred to Carol, so we returned home early.
