We had a great day in the park yesterday. Although the prediction had been for rain most of the day, we awoke to sunshine and blue skies. Sal had the truck’s oil changed first thing in the morning, and then we headed into the park.
We started with a ride through Antelope Flats. We really have fallen in love with those gentle giants, the bison. They are so much fun to watch as they move along at their own slow pace. We watched one crossing the road yesterday. He stopped mid stride, right in the middle of the road, and just stood there for several minutes. We actually thought he had fallen asleep. Then after several minutes he slowly finished his journey to the other side of the road.
We drove through Lupine Meadow too. We hadn’t seen anything of note until we were almost back to the main road. Suddenly from nowhere there was a mature bald eagle flying low over the creek. Needless to say we stopped to enjoy its beauty.
We drove to Oxbow Bend, still in the hopes of seeing a moose, but no luck. But we were there just at the right time to catch a reflection of the mountains in the Snake River. Sal was able to capture it just before it started to disappear.
We also ran into a small herd of Pronghorns yesterday. They were close enough for us to realize what beautiful eyes they have. Take a look at those eye lashes!!
Today is our last day in the Tetons. After 2 ½ plus months, we’re heading for home tomorrow. I’m ready. But Sal would stay longer if he could. Fortunately for me, unfortunately for him, all the remaining RV parks close tomorrow. So it’s ‘On the Road Again’ with Willie tomorrow morning.
While our plan calls for a ‘no detours’ trip from here, we have talked about stopping in a couple of places along the way. We’ll see what happens when we actually hit the road.
Thanks for sticking with us…
Fay
