Yesterday we crossed the very boring state of Idaho and slept over night right on the Idaho Wyoming state line. Today we passed over a mountain range into Wyoming and spending 2 hours in Wyoming has been more entertaining then a whole day in Idaho. Shortly into Wyoming we entered the beautiful city of Jackson Hole Wyoming, every building was one to two stories and made out of wood logs, no skyscrapers in this city, it is a place I plan on visiting again!
Anyways after Jackson Hole we passed into Grand Teton National Park which was breathtaking and no picture could do this awesome mountain range justice! As you stood in awe of these giant mountain peaks covered with snow and a heavy cloud cover, you can't help but see God's hand in the creation of these peaks! We had a possible bear sighting shortly after entering the park, but like any witty bear, this creature did not cross pass the tree line into the field so a full sighting was impossible.
We spent a good part of the morning and early afternoon in the Grand Teton National Park and explored some possible hiking routes, but a wise man advised us that unless we were in top shape and had the right equipment, he didn't recommend such an endeavor. After spending to little time in this great piece of country, we ventured on towards famous Yellowstone National Park! It has been a life long dream of mine to set foot in this awesome national park, I wish the weather wasn't so forbidding. As I type this it's about 1PM and the temperature is not any higher then 40 degrees, with a very heavy overcast of dark clouds an a light mist falling, the idea of camping in this weather is not on the top of our to do list today. The quartet of guys is looking forward to what adventure this national park may hold for us today! =)
P.S. After touring the park the wild life count stands at about all 3,000 living wild bison, a herd of elk, five mountain goats (rams?) And a grizzly bear sighting by Jesse as we were leaving the park but by the time we turning our shaggin wagon around Yogi had lumbered off into the woods and the idea of chasing after yogi for a photo shoot didn't seem like the brightest idea at the time =)
