Geo: 43.818, -110.706Up early to check out the wildlife in the early morning. Were lucky and got to see some beautiful elk and an antelope herd. We had been told about more fox kits near the Lupine Meadows turnout. We headed over there and had to wait for them to appear. You knew you were in the right place by the number of large cameras set up and people standing around talking.The foxes that are here are unique. They are called cross fox and this is because they have a darker coat and what appears to be a cross on their back. The father was very dark and some of the young foxes were red and the others were the cross foxes.While we were waiting for the foxes to appear, a pine marten came over to ... read more

Last night we slept with a mouse. After all, we were in the middle of the woods, so why not get the full experience by sleeping with a wild animal. Most may not think of mice as wild, but I will tell you they are. We stayed in a cabin (basically a hotel room with exterior log walls) at Flagg Ranch again. Right about the time everyone else fell asleep, I heard something. I looked over at the floor and there he was - the mouse, named Lucky via Peggy. I let everyone else know that we had a visitor and we moved a few things around to be sure he did not get into them and that he did not climb in my suitcase and go home with me. That mouse played all night. He ... read more

Yay! Finally I get to travel alone with my brother to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This was my second big trip of the summer. I was excited not only travelling with my brother, but also to meet my dad's girlfriend, Ania. I wanted to see some animals like bears and moose. I read about Yellowstone on reading plus and it sounded really cool. I was also going to go to country number 61, Canada. It was a long flights and we had a layover in Atlanta, Georgia. It was fun because the trip from Atlanta to Jackson Hole we were the first people on the plane. When we go to Jackson Hole we were the last one's off the plane and my dad was there to meet us holding up his camera.,,,sigh. When we got the hotel ... read more

Day 14- Left our Jenny Lake sanctuary to explore more of the park. We got a campsite on Jackson Lake in Colter Bay for one night before heading into Yellowstone tomorrow. Spent the afternoon kayaking. Found wifi at the resort bar to update the blog :). Word is that there is no cell service/wifi in Yellowstone, so stay tuned!... read more

Tuesday 6.17.14 Up to drive early, off to Yellowstone. It was cool to watch the scenery change and the Rockiest eat bigger and bigger. Drove the scenic byway 16, through big Horn Canyon which was stunning. Sadly a an empty road, as most travelers miss the scenery and sped past into Yellowstone on I90. Stopped at a small town for a bathroom/gas break. Big Horn National Forest was stunning. We also secured a cabin/tent for the night in Grand Teton. A wall tent, if you will; we hav no idea what to expect, but I am excited to be on a spring 'box spring' with 'mattress' off of the ground. Gorgeous scenery, we saw some curling horn sheep almost immediately upon entering the park. We ascending up into the snow capped peaks, and we amazed at ... read more
