Smith Falls, June 17, 2009

After we dropped off the cows at the sale barn, we unhooked the trailers, and left one pickup at a repair shop.
We then drove the crew cab another seventy miles to a longtime family dentist for our annual visit.
On the return trip to Valentine, we stopped to take in the sights at Smith Falls State Park.

The old Verdigre Bridge has been moved to the Smith Falls location.

It used to be fifteen feet wide, but has been narrowed down to ten feet.

Smith Falls Park is a nice place to visit.

Wow...no wonder they call it "Smith Falls" no one could pronounce Krzyzanowski. If I was gonna make an attempt....(Krazy Zanowski) haha

Neat pictures, looks like that would be a fun place to cool off on hot summer days.

By the looks of those smiles that's a pretty good dentist.

His dentist must be a rancher too. Work em all in one bunch, in one morning.....let em pair back up and mosey on their way afterwards. :wink: Either that or Soapweed has taught him a few of his tricks and he's emplemented them into his dental practice.

LOL bet the Soapweed kids have lil spearhead brands on thier left hips too....cuz they all seem to be movin in the right direction :wink:
