In the Tetons

Driving through Wyoming, I had a strange experience. I passed by the sign for the Trial Lawyers College, and I thought about people I know being in this spot in Wyoming, which feels so far from life in Dallas, and learning things to take back there. It was odd. And then, I heard from someone directing us through road construction (hard hat, reflective vest, etc.) that Jerry Falwell died. About 10 minutes later, I drove past a golden eagle while both the girls were sleeping. Sometimes, this trip is surreal.

We decided to spend a few days in Grand Tetons National Park before going to Yellowstone. There are 2-3 moose who visit our campsite everyday, and bald eagles nest here. We've had to stop to let bison cross the road in front of us, pronghorn are scattered all over, and elk come down in waves from the hills in the early evening. We are constantly warned to secure food in avoid attracting bear to the campgrounds, and so far we haven't seen any.

Gloria and Leona are working toward being junior rangers here. I don't know how much of it Noni understands, but she wants to try and the rangers are willing. I'll add pictures and more tales of our wilderness adventures soon.
