...and this is the view North.

Jim and Zip. \240Zip is rehabing from a leg injury and has to stay in the barn.

This is Clark the goat and his noisy neighbors, four geese and a duck, Marcus.

Sunset over the bluffs. \240The moon is waning full, and the stars are bright.

The Malad River moving down the canyon, toward the Snake River.

Here, you can see the Malad River Bridge, the river dropping right under the bridge, and the winding verdant valley below. \240Today, we learned about a unique Idahoan plant called Cow Pie Buckwheat.

At the bridge.🙃

Jim, hanging with Metal Cowboy, his trusty steed, and the sheep they are moving.

The Snake River below.

You can't see Hagerman, because it is in the valley, but you can see the windmills from the Anderson properties.

Ruth and Jim walking around the base of the windmill.

The water was calm but swift. \240The landscape: outstanding.

We get to see many of the natural springs running out of the mesa rocks.

Eagles, osprey, and turkey vultures were soaring overhead. \240There were few vessels on the river when we started. \240By the time we started back to the launch site, we saw multiple groups of kayakers out on the river.

We reach the natural spring called Blue Heart. \240It is an amazing color and so cold to the touch. \240It bubbles up out of the bottom of the river.

We hung around in the cove for a while, just enjoying the moment.

A quick lunch, prepared by Kris and Ruth (and before others started to join us), and we were off.

Kris is a great guide, and pointed out a lot of the canyon features. \240We had a great time!

Beautiful falls cascading down the mountainside. \240As you near the top, you can see it literally bubbling up from the rocks.

It is a hot day, and the boys need some relief, so Jim carried them part way down the path.

The area is beautiful and we had a great time.
