8-10 Take a walk with me!

The blog was going to be in "pause" mode for a week or so but sometimes you just want to share what you see so here I am again. We do a lot of walking and this afternoon the "eye candy" was spectacular. There were thunderstorms building to the west of us and as I walked north out of the campground along the 1/2 mile entry road the clouds were beautiful and the scenery was changing by the second. So, take a walk with me and take in some beautiful scenery. The first photo, looking back on the campground, shows the 1/2 mile campground entry road. I'm almost at the end of the entry road where it meets the main road to Kelly, WY, a mile and a half to the east. The Gros Ventre campground runs along the Gros Ventre River back in those cottonwood trees you see. It's a huge campground from end to end, west to east, but as I've said before the sites are large and it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop during the day.


As I walk north from the campground to the main road and look to my left I see the storm clouds building over the mountains.


One of the big bison herds in Grand Teton NP likes to hang out in this part of the park. Whenever we drive out of the campground and turn left to head to Jackson we always see them grazing away. I think they like the scenery too.


It's hard to believe it's August and there is still snow on the mountains.


Looking straight ahead as I walk north I see these beautiful rolling hills...


and slightly to the right of the hills I look across sagebrush flats to mountains in the distance. That's the road to Kelly. There's a little cafe there and a post office. That's all. This is fabulous bike riding country. Ron is busy planning how to add two bikes to the float tube/bike rack for next year.


I hear some rumbling up there in those clouds. I'm heading home before the flashing starts.


Think it will really rain?


You bet!
