Hi All,
We recently got this photo from Ranger Laura who lived next to us at Gros Ventre Campground.
Very early in the morning of the day we left, Laura took this photo of a bison standing right behind our coach.
Hi All,
One of the few benefits of the government shutdown is that thousands of people are exploring state park since National Parks are closed.
That included us. Today we drove 50 miles north of Vegas to Valley of Fire State Park. This gem, Nevada's first state park, includes miles of eroded, red rock. We'll let the pictures tell the story.
Hi All,
Friday and Saturday we spent time in Sin City, touring the casinos and shops and gambling a little.
Hi All,
Two easy days drive brought us to Las Vegas. The RV Park we are staying in is tired and worn with many cluttered permanent trailers. The good news is that is half the price of the fancy parks near the Strip. Sandy thought some trailers looked like "Red Foxx" lived there ;-).
Hi All,
We planned to leave today which sadly turned out to be a good idea since all National Parks closed today.
Hi All,
We returned our uniforms, building keys, radios and bear spray this morning. We then drove one last lap on Moose-Wilson Rd. No bears came out to say goodbye.
Low overcast hid the high peaks but the golden cottonwoods lit up the Snake River Valley
Hi All,
Today we were in Jackson for the Wildlife Film Festival. It was a full day of films from 12-10 PM. We saw fabulous films about chimpanzees, kangaroos and a 3D film about King Penguins on South Georgia Island.
Tonight the keynote will be Derek and Beverly Joubert. We would love to have seen these extraordinary film makers who specialize in African big cats but tonight is the farewell party for the Wildlife Brigade.
