We spent the night at The Falls Forest Service Campground in The Shoshone National Forest. We walked to the falls this morning. We have camped at this area twice before and it is still an amazing sight to us.
We left at 10:45, turning toward Jackson and the Tetons. Soon we crossed the Continental Divide, elevation 9658 ft. I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again, it was a beautiful drive today. We continued to be amazed by the beauty of this land.
When we lived in Casper, Wyoming, we would come to this part of the state from time to time. We called it “Jackson Hole.” Today we learned the town is “Jackson” and the valley is Jackson Hole.
As we got closer to Jackson we saw a sign warning of wildlife on the road...buffalo, elk, bear, mountain sheep, deer, and antelope. Well, guess what! All we saw were two antelope! We’ve seen lots more of the those critters all the way across Wyoming.
After two very difficult u-turns in Jackson, we finally got on the correct road. Soon after crossing into Idaho (Honk, honk! Yahoo!)
we stopped at Blowout Forest Service Campground. We were too tired to drive on into Idaho Springs.
Tomorrow is Natalia’s 19th birthday!
Today’s Travel Totals: Mileage, 125---Critter sighting, two antelope
