Don't know where we're going, but we're on our way: ohh, an exploring we will go!!

saturday, may 1, we got up and decided to cook breakfast before we headed out.

i promptly set off the fire alarm while frying the bacon!

and because of the windows all being closed, it took FOR EVER to make it stop.

as i was opening the door to carry the pan outside, the camp host came over to make sure we were all right.

we all had a good laugh and he said that their alarm goes off when they make toast.

the weather was on again off again stormy and snowy, but not so bad that it was miserable.

we finally headed out thru town and the first thing we came to was the national elk reserve.

OH MY GOSH!

what a beautiful sight.

rmiles and miles of open land with small herds of elk scattered about.

in the small ponds right next to town, there are canadian geese.

the highway travels along side of the reserve and over a small hill.

and then you forget all about the elk reserve.

that is because you are in the teton valley and looking at the base of the tetons.

i say "the base" because of the clouds hanging on to the peaks of the mountains.

you look for miles at the bottoms of the mountains and open land with just the highway running through.

we drove by the campground we will be calling home for the next 5 months, but it was locked.

so we traveled up the road to where we will be working.

the national park headquarters in moose, wyoming.

it sits just off the highway on the other side of the snake river with an awesome view of the tetons.

we found our post office which is in the same complex.

by the way, any mail can be directed to po box 243, moose, wy, 83012

we welcome any and all tidings sent to us.

from there we just drove back thru the jackson golf course complex where we saw either an eagle or osprey sitting on a telephone wire with a fish in it's talons.
