this log cabin is outside of the park on a road that goes East. It was a nice short drive.
Same cabin area — those are the Teton mountains framed in the window.
The old window of a cabin framing the Teton Mountains
An old farm
a small dust storm blew up out of nowhere, it was a chilly day.
A panorama of the Teton mountains (that is why it is curved as it was “stitched” together from a number of photo’s
another part of the mountain ranges by Jenny Lake, it was very windy as you can see there are waves in the water.
We were taking a short walk to a log cabin and general store in the park today away from the busiest of the areas in the Grand Teton Park – Mike was a short way behind me taking pictures like usual when I almost stepped on a moose!!! Well ok, I was on the path and he was in the grass but he was only about 10 feet from me when I saw him. His family the female and baby were a short way away, I alerted Mike who started to take photo’s immediately of course and then we tip-toed off the path further from the moose family as we didn’t want to alarm the male, we walked carefully closer to a building that was near by when we saw a ranger waving to us to come her way carefully. She was very glad to see that we were going away from the moose and not closer to it (like a lot of dumb tourist in the park do) She told us this male moose had already tried to charge someone who had gotten too close to his family and she and another young ranger were standing guard waiting for a supervisor to come and decide what to do. We took more pictures then walked to the general store and then back over to where the rangers were to see if the moose were standing up to take more photo’s but they weren’t they were still laying down, the supervisor had gotten there and was roping the area off with “police yellow tape” and over part of the trail also so no one would get too close. What a day – that is six moose that we saw today — two “families” this is the season I guess.
The female moose who was a short way away from the male — the baby is near by but we couldn’t get a picture of it.
The little general store near by where the moose were at. The inside of the store is kind of neat, a mixture of museum and store in one. The lady working the store was dressed in 1800′s style dress. I bought a cookbook that was put together by a lady who lives in the Jackson area, she got the recipes from local people and also from the local bed and breakfast places and some restarants in the area, her name is Rebecca Woods and the name of her book is Jackson Hole Cooks! It looks like a really good book and I have been looking through it and finding all kinds of good recipes.
Fall in the Tetons the aspen trees are beautiful at this time of year — most a bright yellow
