A Trip Report of a Different Kind

[Steve]

Well, Saturday morning, we got up about 3:30 and milled around awhile before we went for breakfast at 7:00. Come 11:00 we were at the church and went through a little rehearsal. After the rehearsal, I left Susie at the church and came home to get ready. . . Then I headed back to the church. . .

Here's some pics of the day's events. . .

My lovely bride:

Me and my best man. . .Who let the outlaws in? :

Me and the minister:

Getting a little impatient:

Saying the "I Do's":

Sunday morning, we got up and took a little trip. . . to a place called Lochsa Lodge:

A nice place, to be honest. . . We had rented aone of their rustic cabins (wood heat and no bathroom) for two nights. . . we were going cheapie, you know. . . Well, we got there and they upgraded us to one of their newer cabins with gas heat and bath since we were honeymooning. . . . all for what we were supposed to pay for the rustic cabin. . .

While there the temps dropped to -20 degrees. . . (Can anyone explain to me why I could run all over the mountains with my camera like it was only 35 or 40 degrees then I get back here where its 8 and 13 degrees and I can't get warm. . .?)

Anyway. . . even though the temp was -20. . . I was out with my camera getting some pics of the Lochsa River for you guys. . .

Here's one of the Clearwater River on the way to the lodge. . . see the difference?

Well, we got back yesterday afternoon and have gone back to work and life as returned to normal. . .


A very, very GOOD. . . . normal.

First, let me congratulate the newly weds. Good on ya! And, very nice pics of the mountain areas.

Most likely explanation is humidity. Dry air doesn't transmit heat as rapidly as does wet air. A freeze/thaw/refreeze cycle will put a lot of moisture into the air, and then it takes a day or so of continuously cold WX to get rid of it and gain low humidity again. That, and your blood was already hot. :wink:

Yep, congratulations, but keep that -20 temp up there and don't let it spread like the snow did.

Congratulations on the wedding and some terrific scenery in the mountains. Not sure how you did it but the frozen waterfall is really nice. The one picture of you with the pocket watch could of been taken in Dodge City a long time ago. Made me think of High Noon.

Mick, Steve is a brave man. I admired Suzie's white dress. Steve reminded me that all kitchen appliances come in white.

Steve reminded me that all kitchen appliances come in white.

Dang , down here there are all sorts of choices since we can get kitchen appliances in all the different designer colors , even stainless Steel and lately one appliance store has been running sales at 70% off. Don't know why Steve would want a kitchen appliance since he has been cooking up some good treats and posting the recipes on the forum. Unless some appliance was a wedding gift to the two of them. :? :? :? guess I missed the post about that.
