Our drive to thayne WY was beautiul.
This is a picture of the Pallisades Reservoir in WY. We stopped here and had lunch.
The valleys were loaded with color. Greens and reds and blues and wild flowers all over.
This truly is big sky country. Don't know what it is but the sky seems endless. When you sit on the back of a cruise ship and gaze at the stars they seem to be a huge canopy that stretches right to the bottom of the water. The MT, and WY skies remind me of this same feeling when you look at the sky.
The campground we stayed in is called Star Valley Ranch. It is an RPI park. It is located right against the foothills in this picture. We would highly recommend this park for those of you who may be visitng the Grand Tetons. It's a good location for that and it's just a lovely park. It is a beautiful valley. We are surrounded by ranches, hay and alfalfa crops. No matter where you happen to be driving the scenery is gorgeous.
Everything requires irrigation. The crops look fantastic but I guess they should. When you totally control the watering like that you're not taking as much of a gamble as the eastern farmers who do not irrigate but count on the weather cooperating.
The day we left to go to the Grand Tetons we had to wait for the herd above to be moved to the pasture across the street. Nicky didn't even bark, he's gotten used to cattle and bufflo walking past the car.
Depending on the crop you are looking at, you get such a variety of color across the valleys.
The pictures above are some of the different terains we viewed along the way to the Tetons.
We were driving along the Snake River most of the trip over to the park.
The pictures above are so symbolic of the parts of Montana and Wyoming we fell in love with.
This makes for quite a drive down the road doesn't it?
I remember this being my mother's favorite park. She just loved these mountains.
This is a picture of Jenny Lake.
This moose was laying in the brush with her calf and I did the best I could to get a picture of them.
I know there is a name for these kind of deer but I can't remember what it is. They sure are pretty. I sure have enjoyed seeing all the wild life recently.
This is Jackson Hole, WY the big ski area. We had to go through here to get to the park. The town was full of tourists. I can only imagine what winter must be like.
The rest of our time here will be spent relaxing and having a little down time rather than being on the go all day every day. I need to groom Nicky and give him a bath and we'll catch up on wash and probably get around to washing the car.
