Great Muffin Recipe

I found this great strawberry chocolate chip muffin recipe at a little bed and breakfast on Whidbey Island called the Blue Goose Inn:  The strawberries are locally grown and the muffins are homemade. Yummy!  Learn more about the Blue Goose Inn.

Most of the trees in the Green Ridge Campground have been lost to the pine-beetle damage as well.

Guernsey Lake, Wyoming

Guernsey Lake was a convenient and beautiful stop-over on our way to the Black Hills.

Chugwater, Wyoming (in 3D)

You'll need to find those 3D (red-cyan) glasses to view these images taken in Wyoming recently.

We stopped for lunch in Chugwater, WY on our way to Guernsey Lake.


This is the historic Chugwater Soda Fountain, which claims the oldest operating soda fountain in all of Wyoming. (How many could there be?)


We enjoyed the famous "Chugwater Chili" for lunch. Surprisingly it didn't give us an urge to "chug water".


The historic soda fountain and Hamilton Beach Drinkmasters still in service.


After lunch the weather turned dramatic with low swirling clouds rolling into town.


We chose to wait out the storm and we got to see this tornado while we watched the weather progress. View the video clip below in 2D (no glasses needed):
