WOW!! This was an amazing trip down memory lane! I live on the other side of Uinta Dr near Smith’s!! I lived there for nine years until I moved to Idaho Falls in 2020 (the infamous year of COVID) This passed week I’ve been going down memory lane via flashbacks, so I decided to search up pictures to make me happy, and I came upon this wonderful video 😁 Expedition Island and the park nearby were like the PLACES TO BE during the summer : ) Most of my personal memories come from walking the boardwalk on the other side of the Red Bridge, throwing rocks in the river, splashing in the overflow water in July, and watching the salmon swim upstream during the fall 😊 It’s not much, but it was home
Thank you for this video. I lived in Green River from 1971-1982.. I lived in the apartments on River View. Back then there was nothing between the apartments and Roosevelt Elementary. Every morning when we woke up you could metal clanking outside. It was the sound of the kids lunch boxes as we walked to school. I was 6 years old and I walked everyday with the other kids thru the snow to school.... Back then Expedition Island was kinda of this mystical place for us kids. It was one of the few places in town that had.. Trees!! I had a school assignment that needed leaves.. So my mom took me to Expedition Island to get leaves! Ok.. enough memory lane! Thank you again for sharing this video.
It’s been two years since I’ve lived there, but in my experience we only had power outages during the occasional thunderstorm or wind storm, and they rarely lasted more than 1-2 hours

i miss green river

My dream is to visit this beautiful state with my girl planning on a trip in 2022😊
Its hard to tell how nice your town is by looking at roof tops. Maybe looking forward tp the horizon?
I was just at Expedition Park this morning.......
Very cool hearing from people that life here Green River is a great little place
I'm looking to live there when I retire. Are there power outages there?

@@samanthasmith5095 thanks for the reply! That's great to know.
@@Sonoma_Coast Hopefully I wasn’t too late in giving information considering that was a year ago 😁

@@Sonoma_Coast Nice! I searched up Winnemucca Nevada and it looks like a pretty nice place as well 😁
Nice I was lived in rock springs wy on 2016..
Why did they build a dam and spillway on the Green River and when? That walkway is new too.
they built a water detention lake and dam for the water treatment plant the walkway has been there for many years
Its a water detention pond cheaper process than taking it strait from the river and treating the silt having it in a pond reduces that
I live up by expedition island
