So we finally were out and saw some wildlife. We've actually gotten out several times since our last post. We walked some of Paintbrush Canyon, took a tour of the Elk Refuge, visited Colter Bay, and took an ATV ride up Flat Creek & Curtis Canyons in the Bridger-Teton National Forest (the mountain range you see in pictures I take of the hatchery.) ATV tour courtesy of Calvin.
We've finally gotten warm and to our great amazement, wildfire smoke has continued to elude us. We do get some haze from time to time, though. Volunteers here seem to get out as a group more than in past years, so there's been several evening get-togethers and sometimes eating out.
We about two months away from time to leave. We expect to be out of here by October 2nd. At least that's the plan. We have reservations for Utah, Nevada and Arizona to round out the year.
Lots of pictures below of what we've seen. Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us. Until next time, David
