(2019 Grand Teton Ep 17)
During the weeks and miles of our trip to the Tetons, we saw some interesting sights that we would like to share with you.
Bison, Goats, Prairie Dogs, Sheep…Brontosaurus?
We were driving along the rolling hills of southwest South Dakota enjoying amazing wildlife. Then we saw it – a turquoise brontosaurus. We wondered how it got there…
Riding A Jackalope
The jackalope is part of western folklore – said to be a cross between a now extinct pygmy-deer and a species of killer-rabbit. Occasional sightings of this rare creature are rumored to still occur, with small pockets of jackalope populations persisting in the America West.
Expedition RV Inspiration
The typical RVs one sees while traveling include trailers, fifth wheels, pop-ups and slide-ins.
Some rugged, probably affluent and definitely eccentric travelers camp in military-style prepper expedition RVs. We saw the massive rig below in Grand Teton National Park.
A few minutes later we discovered the vehicle that must have provided the inspiration for this rugged RV.
What Hair Color is That?
We hiked to an overlook with a phenomenal view of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. A young lady with blue hair was also enjoying the view. If you would like to dye your hair her color, request Grand Prismatic Blue.
Caution: Bison Formation Ahead
As we returned to the parking lot from the Grand Prismatic Spring, we saw the interesting formation below alongside the trail. The cone resembled several of the geysers elsewhere in the park.
A reminder to stay alert and watch where you walk.
Ava the Avocado
Before we left for the Tetons, Pat placed an avocado seed in a cup filled with water to get it to sprout. We didn’t want the resulting baby avocado plant to shrivel up while we were away, so we brought Ava with us – for more for than 6000 miles and 17 states. Now that she’s home, Ava is putting down roots in a pot on our deck!
No Double D for Pat and Me
The photo below is of a ranch entrance near Taos, New Mexico. We had no desire to trespass or camp in the area.
Next week – Capital Reef National Park and the missing pies…
Take the LONG Road...
