April, 2006 - Three Island Crossing State Park
Our first outing in 2006 was at Three Island Crossing State Park. It was at this location that indians, explorers, trappers, traders and emmigrants forded the Snake River by "island hopping". Later, one of southern Idaho's most colorful early settlers, Gus Glenn, started a ferry service to aid travellers crossing the river.
Notice the Nighthawk coming into the picture at the lower right.
Shoshone Falls is always a spectacular sight.
Something has caught the guy's interest down below the observation platform.
It looks like a marmot is keeping an eye on them up there.
We enjoyed the company of Allan and Nancy. As new members,
this was their first outing with the club.

Now what is everyone looking at?
A Great Horned Owl has made her nest in the branches of a tree.
Another point of interest. It says here that Bruneau Sand Dunes is a natural sand trap.
It started to form approximately 11,000 years ago after the tremendous Bonneville
Flood. Bruneau Dunes is the tallest single sand dune structure in North America.

Oh look! Someone has climbed up there on the ridge of the nearest sand dune.
On closer inspection it is Alan and Joy, and Victor and Yvonne.

It didn't take long for others to join them. It appears that Judy made the climb on hands and knees. While Marvin was on all fours, with Pat in tow.
For the naturalists among us it was exciting to see a flock of
American White Pelicans
nesting on an island in the river.

Finally, no outing is complete without an outdoor BBQ.
