Heading Home

Leaving Yellowstone was definitely an indication that our trip was nearly over.  Next stop, Katie's, where she and Chris would leave us and we would come into Wichita on Tuesday.  But little did we know, we had a few more fun discoveries ahead of us.

First, as we exited the park, we saw this antique truck pulling this antique camper.  The camper is not tall enough even to stand up in, but we thought it was really a neat set-up.

As we drove through Teton National Park, we drove by Jackson Lake, a gorgeous lake that usually reflects the Grand Tetons in its waters.  Unfortunately, because of the drought, there is no water for a reflection.  Very sad.

After we exited Grand Teton National Park, we saw a few cars by the side of the road.  That usually means there is a critter somewhere, so we stopped to look.  Sure enough, there were two bears foraging just off the road.  We stopped and I hopped out of the RV with my trusty point-and-shoot camera.  As I was snapping pics of the two, a third one one ambled over, and they began moving toward us.  Within a minute or two, they were close enough to snap this wonderful shot!  One woman actually crossed the road and was WAY too close, but when I said something, she ignored me.  Well, ok then.  Get eaten.  Good thing the bears were focused on the berries they were finding.

We think it was a sow and her two two-year-old cubs, but we don't know for sure.  Whether they were a family or three cubs trying to figure out life, we don't know.  But it surely was fun to watch.

It was awesome having one last spectacular shot of the bears!
