Comfort Inn And Suites Rock Spr Rock Springs

Der Grand Teton National Park eignet sich super zum Baden und Wandern, leider ist es dazu im Moment eher zu kalt. Wir haben die traumhafte Kulisse (Rocky Mountains) trotzdem sehr genossen...immerhin die ersten richtigen Berge seit 6 Monaten :-)<br><br>Ansonsten gibt es in Wyoming nichts ausser endlosen Ebenen mit Tausenden von Rinderherden...kein Wunder, bei den vielen Burgern, die hier in den USA gegessen werden. Die meisten kennen ja Salat nur als Teil eines Burgers :-)<br>

Randi woke up at 4AM at the rest area and started driving. I slept. We shared driving and resting as we crossed Nebraska and Wyoming. Our only stops were rest areas. We could not take any more rest areas, so a Best Western in the middle of ...

Drove through Nebraska and most of Wyoming to get to Rock Springs WY today. Arrived by 5 pm. The mountains are real cool. So cool that there is still snow on top of many. We stopped at the Fort Cody Trading Post. It was filled with all kinds of good stuff. I managed to escape without making a purchase. I was in ...

... for settlers to come through that area, and on the other side of the highway the land had been cleared off and planted to alfalfa with quarter-circle irrigation systems in place. Speaking of those interesting corn storage facilities, I forgot to describe them the first day I noticed them, but what I first noticed were some sort of house sized metal cage-like devices that looked sort of like large, circular bird cages with kind of ornate bell-shaped tops. When I saw the ...

... one, I thought perhaps the people had large birds in an outside aviary. Then, I began to notice more of them, and couldn't figure out what they were but didn't think there would be that many people with outdoor aviaries. Then I saw some small barn-like structures with open slots between the boards on the sides and figured out they were corn cribs for storing dried corn on the cob for later feeding. And, I saw one corn crib that was made from some kind of brick or white stone ...

Wow, this was a cold, snowy, and windy day. I stopped at the famous overpass in Kearney, but it did not open till 10 am and I was not going to wait an hour. But, I did get a good photo of it and the buffalo out front. The wind gusts were between 40 and 60 mph causing the snow in the farm and ranch fields to blow across the Interstate thus creating slippery conditions. I ...

... see it but no luck. Added moose and a distant eagle to list of wildlife we saw. Day ended up being a lot longer than we planned. We were going to stay in Jackson and go back into Teton to take some morning pictures the next day but the hotels seemed too expensive so we headed on south to Rock Springs which was about 4 hours away. When we got there at ...

... canyons qui se reflètent dans le bleu du lac, habité de truites et saumon. Nous avons loué un petit bateau à moteur (marina au sud), pris un pic-nic (sauf le Mountain Dew qui a cruellement manqué à Laurent) et en route pour la visite qui devait durer 3 heures..et a fini en 6 tant le lieu était beau et l'eau attirante ! Aucun touriste, une route « scenic » et des couleurs qui rappellent les parcs de l'Utah ...

Today we got from Nevada, through Utah, to Wyoming. The view is changing dramatically, from dry and sandy to green and lively, from flat to rocky, from empty fields to busy towns. It's funny that we've gone through three states, but there were only few towns on the way of Interstate Highway 80. The ...

Just a quick note to say the kids were excited to hear from Abbey, Kylee, Tom, Mary Rose, and cousin JT! Thanks for posting! The kids are keeping journals so we will get them to make an entry from Yellowstone - we're off to Yellowstone and some cool weather in a few minutes!
