Well we actually got to get away from home for a VACATION..... 8) It was one of the best I have ever had. We went to Valentine and went canoeing down the Niobrara on Thrusday. I had never been canoeing and it turned out to be a great time. Here is a shot of the crew...
The weather was great and the Mrs took a lot of pic's of the river and it's impressive beauty.
I will have to admit it did wear us out as you can see...
On Friday we went for a bike ride on the cowboy trail from Valentine back to the southeast. Crossing this bridge was really something.
We took a minute to borrow the great view and take a family shot.
On the way up Cody was reading the map and decided he was famous that he had a town named after himself. So on Friday night we went for a little drive so he could see the town for himself..
I have a bunch of other shots and will try to get a minute to post some more. Seems that being gone for several days puts ya way behind when you are trying to make hay and you are off enjoying time away. :wink: 8) I am really impressed with the warm reception we recieved while we were on Vacation in Valentine. We used Graham outfitters and they were very helpful on setting things up and fitting us with the best canoe trip. I am glad that Katrina and Jassy recomended them. A big thanks to Katrina for all of her help and it was nice to get a chance to meet her. I would say that is my only regret about the whole trip was that I didn't know more about my schedule and line up a time to meet everyone up town for a glass of Ice tea.... :wink: If anyone is looking for a great place to get away from home and enjoy a day or two in the great outdoors I would highly recommend Valentine and a canoe trip down the Niobrara.... 8)

Just about the time I do they do something really great that reminds me how important they are. Your country is so much different than ours here. Here a big pasture is a 160-320 acres in your area I would guess that to be more like 5,000. One other thing I noticed was the hay meadows they are amazing. The grass I cut for hay totals about 50 acres and it is in 10 patches. I have never seen so many round bales as I did on the way down Hwy 20 to the east.
