We have left the Grand Teton National Park and are in Caspar, WY.
What a beautiful park it was. We stayed two night at the Gros Ventre campground. Gros Ventre is French for big stomach. We were treated to an early morning visit from a bull and a cow moose. They weren't the least bit interested in us however they had quite a big fan club! We also saw several bison cross the road in front of our car. We had to stop and wait for them as they were bigger than us. At one point Pete got out of the car to get a better picture and one of the bison was snorting and acting aggressive toward him. Scared me to death!
We took a driving tour around the park and stopped at Jackson Lake Lodge where they served Huckleberry margaritas. Of course I had to try one. Delicious. They were served on the patio overlooking Jackson Lake and Mt. Moran. The view was spectacular! We did find, however that the best way to eat on a budget in the park is to bring your own food!

We are staying in an RV park in Caspar and I have nothing good to say about this place so I won't say anything On to Deadwood South Dakota tomorrow. Can't wait! Cheers!
These wildlife pictures look like they could be in National Geographic...very cool! Dad, I'm glad you didn't get that Bison too excited--yikes! I hear they can do quite a number on visitors with cameras. Sounds beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I missed checking your blog for awhile, so it was fun to see your new posts. Love the Tetons photos, AND I wish I could have one of those huckleberry margaritas!
ReplyDeleteI went to the Tetons as a kid and loved it/them! I thought I would be soooo bored. What does a teenager want to do looking at a bunch of mountains? Well, this teenager loved it/them!
ReplyDeleteI also remember a night at the emergency room when my then little brother fell, hit his head, and had to be stitched up! Good times on family vacation.
