Western Motel Green River

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 ...

... a hurry to get into the Fort, I tried to scale the wall. Please look at the photo to see what a pain in the rear it is to scale the wall. Yesterday I spotted a Tesla on the road. It is the first one I ever saw. It is the first all-electric car available in America and costs about $100,000. Rock Springs is a real ...

After traveling through lowering skies, heavy air, and the threat of thunder storms and even tornadoes yesterday, this morning I woke to sunshine and a cool breeze. North Platte is at about 2800 feet and is on the line between the crop land of Iowa and eastern Iowa (corn and soybeans mostly) and hay, pasture and rangeland. So, as I drove west I felt more as though I was in 'the west'. Ranches were larger, and were further and further apart, instead of ¼ to ½ mile between ...

... the wide open farm and range land of the West. The light traffic makes for a very easy drive. You can just lean back, enjoy the scenery and listen to the radio or watch (listen) to a DVD and time flys by. I enjoyed one of my all time favorites today, "Honeymoon in Vegas." Everyone should drive across the country. You get a real appreciation size and resources of this ...

... all but one sleezy motel were full so we had to drive even farther to get to Green River, Wyoming and ended up paying as much for a hotel there as we would have paid in Jackson 4 hours earlier-oh well. We discussed whether to start our trip home or try and get one more destination in and decided to get some sleep and decide the rest of our plan in the morning.

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 ...

... of their churches around the city. Whatever huge building appeared to be a government office, bank or a library, happened to be the Church of Latter Day Saints... Whether modern or Disney-like castle, its magnitude is breathtaking! I especially adore the Great Salt Lake. The white minerals ...

We spend a few days in Flaming Gorge working on our kayaking skills. We were able to camp right on the beach. We went by way of state route 530 from Green River, Wyoming. We turned into the primitive camping road approximately .75 miles from Buckboard Marina Road. We followed the road to a suitable site on the beach. We chose an area with some greenery around it. Because we waited to ...
