A Week In Star Valley Wyoming
It's the first week of October and Corey and I just left the Heise Idaho area. Our plan is to avoid winter as much as possible as we migrate south. But, with Star Valley Wyoming in our path of travel and the history of my great-grandparents being some of the first to settle in this area, a visit was due. Here are some of our adventures while in Star Valley!
Our base camp while in Star Valley was the Star Valley Ranch Resort in Thayne Wyoming. We rented a lot from a wonderful couple from the Virginia area. The lot had plenty of room to fit our 45-foot fifth wheel, side by side and truck. I can only imagine how busy this place is in the summer with golf, pickleball, and the pool/hot tub all within a five minute walk.
We started our Star Valley visit with a hike to Periodic/Intermittent Spring in Afton. Very nice hike through the changing leaves walking along the stream.
Its a steep scramble up to to where the water comes out and Corey said this is as far as she goes!
This is where the water comes through the mountain.
The next stop during our trip was to visit the Grover Wyoming Cemetery to pay respects to my father's family. Very sobering to see the tough life that those that came before us in this part of the country endured.
My grandmother's headstone. My father was 9 when his mother passed at age 49.
A few of my father's siblings who proceeded him in death. Three of whom proceeded his mother in death.
And his older brother, who served in WW2, passed a couple of years ago at 97.
For the rest of our time in Star Valley, there multiple hikes, RZR rides, and a few trips to the golf course.

Corey doesn't golf, but she is happy to help me carry the bag and heckle me when I deserve it.
