OK, moving on, stopped and visited a friend in Lander, WY. And got my refrigerator working! He took me to a place near there where the river goes underground for about a mile and where it comes out there are trout. Lots and lots of huge trout! You guessed it, no fishing allowed there.  Ironically a couple was there and they guy tells a story about how if you do climb down there, you'll find lots of fly lines caught in the brush. Also of a guy who was caught fishing there. Older guy. When the conservation cop asked him if he knew it was illegal to fish there, the guy replied, "Yes, but I grew up here and just couldn't stand it anymore."   [  |

And then? And then? So once he'd seen the fisherman off, stolen the fish and got the fridge working?? Was it a tablecloth spread on the ground from the picnic hamper?
Did he grill the freshly-caught trout, with coriander and lemon butter?
Did he pull scrubbed carrots from the hamper for Zen?
A bit 'fishy' that those pix won't post. Hmmm.

With functioning refrigerator full of sandwich meats, milk, orange juice, yogurt,apples, water, shredded cheese, and beer, I now head for the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, through the Wind River Indian Reservation. I found some earrings for my Niece (sterling silver dragonfly with turquoise stones for the wings), a funny T-shirt for me and some honey. Wish I had bought more of that honey, clover and alfalfa. Anyway through the reservation:  Stopped at a rest area and these showed up. They are not fenced in, the rest area is. Likely to keep the tourists from wandering too far.   Some local history:     Onto the first crossing of the Continental Divide:  Time to stop for lunch, now that I can do that anywhere.  Teton National Forest  |

Having been in the Rocky Mountains numerous times in the long past years our vacation in '92 in Colo, Wyoming and Montana I was surprised that each range had it's own persona. The Rockies are purely beautiful, but the Tetons are so rugged, but still majestic. In Glacier National Park did you go up to the summit on the Highway to the Sun?

Love them Zen! Especially the lake. Did you happen to see the big sculpture thing in Idaho Falls? I think I have a photo of it on my old phone. I will have to look and see.

Didn't make it to Idaho or Glacier National this trip. Not sure when I'll get the chance either. The last batch were all taken in Grand Teton National Park.

Did you happen to notice that all of the workers in Yellowstone and even West Yellowstone, the city, are not American? Apparently they have some sort of huge exchange deal to have these kids come from overseas to work in and around the parks. In West Yellowstone, at McDonald's, nearly all the workers were from Japan, although there was one Dutch girl. Then all the workers in the grill at Mammoth Hot Springs were from all over, Italy, Germany, Hungary, etc. I thought that seemed kind of weird.
