July 3-8 2013 Henderson Family Reunion at Flaming Gorge, Utah

We camped at a group site not far more this 
beautiful overlook of Flaming Gorge area
by the dam.

Close up of this amazing bridge.


So of us took the "Dam Tour", which takes you inside and down to the 
bottom...over 500 ft.

One small part of our camp site.

Eli (in his Aquaman outfit) & Wyatt had lots of fun.

Once everyone arrived, there were nearly 40 people!

There was lots of activities for the kids.




 

 


Face Painting!








We visited the Oscar Swett Ranch...it was very interesting.







The Smoke house

The root cellar

The out house

Garden area...still being used.



This was a saw mill, powered by the front half of an 1917 Hudson truck (below).
They ran a belt between the engine and blade, which turned the blade and cut timber.


Very beautiful country...but it must have been a hard life over 100 years ago!
