Geek Alert: Falcon 9 Launch



Hi All,

I watched the Space-X launch of 2 Intelsat Communications satellites last night. It was just after sunset at Kennedy Space Center.

This remarkable photo was shot from the drone ship out in the Atlantic where the booster would ultimately land. The rocket climbed high enough to be back in sunlight and the expanding engine plume looked like a squid.

Three minutes later the booster had landed, covered with soot from its 14 flights ( they refurbish but don't wash them.) Some of the exhaust cloud is still visible.

Cool pictures captured from the launch video coverage-if you like this sort of stuff.

Love,

Carl

On the Road Again-One More Time





Hi All,

We leave Grand Teton Thursday to head back east. We went on a final walk along Schwabacher's Landing, soaking up the scenery.

We also made one more trip down Moose Wilson Road to say good-bye to the bears(the bear we saw was asleep in a tree).

It was bitter sweet since, as some of you know, we have decided to hang up the keys, sell the motorhome and buy a condo in SW Florida. So, we will not be back this way, at least not for the season.

We have also been agonizing over the hurricane damage on Sanibel. All of our friends there are safe but the damage is incredible, compounded by destruction of the causeway, the only vehicle access to the island.

We will obviously not be volunteering at Ding Darling and we have begun looking for a campground as a base while we are condo shopping.

Stay tuned. We'll have more adventures to share.

Love,

Sandy & Carl

Western Visions



Hi All,

Every fall the Wildlife Art museum has an art show & sale fundraiser. Remember these are paintings not photographs. Here are some of our favorites. 

Brothers of the Sagebrush 

Snowy owl taking off

Appetizers

Devotion

Big Gulp

Prep Show-this shorebird sculpture is in the museum's permanent collection

One of many outdoor sculptures. In case you can't read the sign, it says," Please don't climb on the sculpture. The moose doesn't like it and neither does security "

Love,

Here are the Photos



Hi All,

Lots of Wildlife



Hi All,

After not being seen for over a month, Her Majesty Bear 399 put in an appearance.

At about the same time, Carl found this photo of a 399 cub playing with a traffic cone in Outdoor Photographer magazine.

Today we spotted this moose cow and calf walking across the meadow.

Soon thereafter, we were dispatched to Murie Ranch for this black bear in a berry bush.

Last Monday we enjoyed great music at the hootenanny.

Back in the coach, Sanibelle has realized she no longer fits on the box.

Hard to believe we have only two weeks to go.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
