Intermittant Springs

In Star Valley, close to where we were having a family reunion, Jessi and James heard of an easy hike (stroll) to a spring that turns it's self on and off on a regular basis- so we went to check it out. This is the trail head.
And the water tumbling down from the spring
And Gil and I checking out the source. Man made cover- they have pipes in the cave and use it as a source for some of the Afton water supply. This was when the flow had almost stopped. A few minuets later, the water was flowing over the rocks where Gil's feet are - and only the larger rocks were out of the water to use as stepping stones.
Jessi at the bottom where the two creeks join. My first and only hike this summer and I am thankful that I got to go!

That was a beautiful hike! Glad you & Dad made time to come w/us. It was fun to hear Dad reminisce a bit about visiting his grandpa in Thayne.
