Cub River Revisited 2011

Von and I had planned to go to the Box Elder County Rodeo this year, and I proposed a visit to Cub River for a picnic and hike to the "Deep Freeze", a favorite short hike to the head of the Cub River in the Willow Flat Campground...the site of many Buxton Family Reunions in years past. Nan, Loralee, Heber, and Sheila's family decided to join us, so we picked up some KFC in Logan on our way.

On our way up the trail...about a 20-minute hike.

Halie and the mighty Cub River.

The "Deep Freeze". Where the water comes out of the mountain. The best drinking water on earth!

Sheila's family there for the first time.

Jordan passed out.

Nan and Von at the Deep Freeze.

It's probably been 10 years since we were here, and it's still the way we remember it.

Von and Loralee.

Heber and Lexi.

Lexi hiked down with me and had the time of her life. We stopped at just about every flower.

Rest stop on the way down...Lexi, Halie, and Grandpa.
