We are on the road again trying to add to our bucket list of things to complete. We are gypsies at heart and will try to visit the National Parks out West, tour Oregon and Washington States, sight see the western part of British Columbia, and Back to Alaska. Of course, we can't not visit Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and any states in between. So, come and join us in our adventure.

Yellowstone NP, Grand Teton NP, Jackson Wyoming

We were off the grid with no Internet or cell phones since last Wednesday.  We read, I knitted, defrosted the freezer, and just relaxed.  Oh by the way we also fished the Snake River.  We were really surprised that the head waters of the Snake was so warm.  Our streams in North Carolina are fairly cold in the month of July.  The head waters of the Snake flow into the mighty Columbia River and eventually into the Pacific Ocean.   We toured the Tetons and got some great pictures of Mormon Row cabins and the Moutrie barn which turned  100 on Saturday.  While we were taking pictures three buffaloes and two buffalo calves crossed the road.
We are in Jackson tonight and tomorrow and will leave to head South to Zion, Bryce, and Arches National Parks.  Tomorrow we will go into town to shop.  My favorite store, Coldwater Creek, has closed, so I will have to find another one.
Meg,  I have another quest for you!  Where did the Oregon Trail begin, what states did it travel through, and where did it end?  Also, why did the pilgrims travel this important trail?  Good luck!

Love ya'll ..............
