Back at the Hatchery

We made an early start Saturday morning to travel from Casper to Dubois, WY where we spent Saturday & Sunday night.  We started out early, again, this morning for the short, 2-hour drive over to the fish hatchery outside Jackson, WY.  Unusual for us, we didn't drive through rain either day! We did have a rain/thunderstorm shower Saturday night, and we've got dark clouds to the southwest of us as I write this.  Your guess is as good as mine as to whether we'll see any rain or not.

One surprise was the traffic as we got close to Teton National Park and Jackson:  This is the busiest we've seen this area this time of the year.  It's more similar to mid-June traffic.  Grocery store was busy, and the parking lot close to full.  We'll see if traffic is that way tomorrow as we plan to head into Yellowstone for the day.   

Snow:  There's some on the mountains, but not as much as I expected.  Snake River looks normal to us which probably means it's actually a little low.  Gro Ventre River looked OK, too.

No post is complete without some pictures.  Here's some from The Longhorn Ranch (first 3) where we spent Saturday & Sunday night plus our trip over Togwotee Pass and the Continental Divide this morning.  We'll see how the trip tomorrow turns out.  Thanks for dropping by.  Until next time, David








Mt Moran, Grand Teton National Park


We're finally into Jackson Hole with the Tetons on our right.  That's Black Butte to the left.
