Little America Hotel - Little America Wy

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>

... br><br>Hmm, perhaps it would be best to leave before word gets out that there's a stranger in town.<br><br>Not sure if its because of the elevation or the time of year, but the temperature went from 95 to 45 when the sun went down. Brrrr.<br> <br><br><br>

... as if it had been left exactly as it was in 1900s.  However the kids were excited to find out that Butch Cassidy was a regular visitor to the local taverns.  <br><br>The post office is still in use and is a stop off for all those walking the Continental Divide (remember we met someone in Dillon who was walking the route) to pick up their post and in the corner was a pile of FedEx parcels ready to be collected (bit of a bummer if the walker timed it wrong and missed 

... coming 60 miles away. Pretty soon the storm was right with us and it was windy. It sure makes it hard for Mark to drive, but he does a great job. We found the Koa in Lyman, and checked in. It was cool and breezy but it was nice out. The boys played on the playground equiptment with some kids that were there, and Mark and I just relaxed. The KOA didn't have cable and with the storm their internet wasn't working either. Oh well. We cleaned up, prepared for the next day and went to sleep.

This day we toured Grand Teton National Park. The scenery was even better than Yellowstone although the haze in front of the mountains never really cleared. Had another leisurely picnic by a river and talked to one of the tour guides for the river float that was taking out of the place we were resting. He reported that a grissly bear was in the area and we ...

Ce matin, après le traditionnel breakfast américain et quinze jours bien remplis, les deux familles se séparent: les Pierrat vont direction plein est pour 1600 km de route vers Milwaukee (Wisconsin), terre de leur expatriation de 2003 à 2006. Pour nous, direction le Sud et Salt Lake city, via quelques 800 km de Wyoming. Comme d'habitude, nous avons encore passé un excellent séjour ensemble ! Nous décidons ...

I´m waitin for my first flight to board. I´m sleepless, groggy, delirious and having hallucinations about bicycle wheels and too-small boxes and airline checkers with horns and stuff............ AND I´m on time! Even early!!! Who would believe that? What a crazy last several days. I ...

... in only to discover 13 Polish people already in there. We packed up there about 3pm and started our long drive to Utah. We've decided to visit some of the National Parks in Utah as they're meant to be quite good. Arches is first on the list I think because it's the nearest and it's also on the way to Vegas. The drive to the Interstate 70 was magnificent. Highway 40 takes you through the mountains and climbs around 12,000 feet. At one point we were above the clouds, much to ...

... cars and a five minute wait before you could be lead through. It was a rolling resurfacing as well, which meant that everytime we stopped to look at something the blooming tarmac lorry and van with the cone men would pull up right in front of us then start resurfacing the road making us wait. We did meet a really cool construction guy though. If you can picture the scene, we were on a windy mountain road with a view to the left of just tons of mountains ...

... you and the car in front, like you would in the UK but you'll get three cars slip into the space - normally without indicating or checking in their mirrors at all. I'd love to see what the US driving test involves, I really would!! Anyway, we arrived in Boulder fine and checked into our hostel, which was basic but we had our own room and it was within walking distance of the downtown area. We met a bloke in Spearfish called Sergio, who told us that if we ...
