If youre interested In the nation's future, be a part of it by adding your strength. some new experiences. We first attended a state press convention at Sweetwater on Bear Lake. Besides the regular convention items, we had our first experience at trying a sail boat. We even got so we could go any direction we wanted. Next we traveled to Flaming Gorge and spent three days (cold and windy but still fun). The area there is beautiful this year, as the hills are a carpet, green everywhere you looked. Then the final phase of our week was a float trip down the Green River, from the Gates of Ladore to Split Mountain. It took three days to make the journey, and included a number of rated rapids plus a lot of white water. This was a real experience for us. We even had the chance to handle the huge raft (which probably weighed over a ton when loaded) through many of the rapids, dodging huge boulders, and keeping away from the jagged canyon wall. Again the scenery was outstanding, and the sun and water seemed to do us a lot of good. And the weather was fantastic.

In talking with Larry Sanderson at the golf course, he said about the only thing he could see about last weekend's tournament that could have improved was the attendance of local spectators. But golf is so new in the area that people just don't know what it's all about yet For instance, a few people asked, Can we come and watch the tournament players?" Others wondered if they could even get on the course to watch without paying a green fee. For the next tournament, Larry says he would like to see the whole town out to watch. He thinks they will enjoy what they see. By the way, you might be surprised who you would see up playing golf on the city course.
