In the Mountains
Greetings from Jackson, Wyoming!
We have had three fabulous days in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks. I have had more sun in the last three days than in the entire summer in New England.
The parks are amazing! We saw plenty of bison, mule deer and one elk. Alas, no grizzly bears.
We saw geysers, geysers, and more geysers. Also hot springs, bubbling mud pots, and steam vents. Of all the geo-thermal features in the world, half are in Yellowstone. Tough hiking at 8,000 feet we found out. Yellowstone is as big as Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
Then on to Grand Tetons park. Wow, wow, wow! What a spectacular day--crystal clear blue sky and 70 degree+ temps. We kayaked on Jenny Lake in the park.
Another thing. People are friendly in this country. I mean real friendly. Everywhere except the northeast, that is. I find that it is stunningly different.
That's all the travel news for now. On through Idaho tomorrow to Boise.
