I grew up in Central Kansas helping out on my grandfather's farm.   I love the way the wheat waves in the wind on a summer day.   I began my love affair with wildflowers as a young girl.   I could wander for hours gathering wildflowers, meandering along streams and gathering currants for pie or jelly.   When I became tired I would sit under or climb up into a big shade tree and let my mind wander and dream big dreams.   I moved to Kansas City to join my aunt after high school.   You know what they say, you can take the girl out of the country but you...more

Flaming Gorge National Park Utah

The Green River originates near the continental divide in the 13,000 foot Wind River mountains of central Wyoming. By the time its waters flow into the Gulf of California, after joining the Colorado, they will have passed through six National Park or National Forest Service units - the first is Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (NRA), centered around a large artificial lake formed by Flaming Gorge Dam. The other five are Dinosaur, Canyonlands, Glen Canyon, Grand Canyon and Lake Mead. The gorge is managed by the US Forest Service as part of the Ashley National Forest and offers varied recreational activities including fishing, boating, swimming, camping and rock climbing, though it is not renowned for its hiking opportunities. A fee of $5 (2015) is charged for entry to specific recreation sites, though travel on the main roads (and visits to the dam) are free. The most scenic area of the NRA is in Utah where the lake lies beneath steep red cliffs of Weber sandstone, on account of which the canyon was originally named in 1869 by the famous one armed explorer John Wesley Powell, whilst on his travels along the Green and Colorado rivers. However, most of the lake lies in Wyoming; the river has been flooded for 91 miles above the dam, almost as far north as the namesake town of Green River on I-80.
