Wyoming has proven to be a land of surprises as we have traversed the state from Southeast to Northwest. An early antelope (this time I got the picture!), miles of buttes, bluffs and land that at times resembled a desert, and then into the Shoshone National Forest which changed the landscape entirely! We took a sidetrip on a 5 mile dirt road to Brooks Lake and the closer we got, the more snow there was!! Wildlife continues to be abundant as this deer indicates.
Back on the road and it wasn't long before we crested a hill and there they were!--THE GRAND TETONS! Teddy Roosevelt is said to have remarked something like "Now that's the way mountains should look!" - and WE AGREE!
We are in a motel tonight, and tomorrow we will transfer to the Inn at Colter Bay where we will connect with Celeste and Rolf for 5 days of exploring the Tetons and Yellowstone. I don't think it will be possible to take a bad picture here, so early in the morning I plan to start shooting away.
We have a whirlpool in our room tonight, so any more blogging is just going to have to wait! I'll post again in a couple of days.
David and Sandra
