Next Stop – MONGOLIA!

Next Stop – MONGOLIA!

With only about 36 hours left in the United States, my good friend Ben Gourlay is cramming as much of the Wood River Valley into his system as he can.  Luckily, a trip to Silver Creek made the list on Monday and he made the most of it.

Ben leaves Wednesday morning for a 27 month trip to Mongolia as a member of the Peace Corps, and where he ends up in the country is still a mystery, the thoughts of Taiman, Lenok, and Grayling will hopefully be apart of his adventure of a lifetime.

Thanks again for the day Ben, be safe, and Silver Creek will be awaiting your return.
