Phelps Lake, WY.

Today is our last day in Wyoming, as tomorrow we'll be in Utah for the night. So we went for a short hike to Phelps Lake. This land was donated by Lawrence Rockefeller to give people a chance to enjoy the quiet solitude. Everything was wonderful until a group of people showed up who never stopped talking, and quite loudly too. They drove everyone else off. It was really stupendous though, and was our last chance to explore the Tetons.

Although we have no decent pictures of them, we did see quite an array of animals today. A bear, three moose (two bulls-WOW!), and a coyote. It was fun to watch the coyote hunting his prey.

We did get a chance to toddle around Jackson and go shopping. In fact we ran into a friend from Atascadero, who just happens to be here also. They have two awesome hat shops in town! Wait till you see my latest acquisition. It won't be too much longer now, but we will be taking our time heading west. Our next stay will be in Nevada, at Great Basin NP.
