I had forgotten that Spring Break would provide a window of a few extra days without obligations, and, on a snap decision, we decided to extend our trip to Twin Falls to see Kids and GrandKids. We drove on roads we had never seen before. New vistas were so refreshing after so much isolation. We drove back into winter in Teton National Park. It was relaxing to have no schedule to follow. No set plans. And we were richly rewarded with a surprising variety of wildlife sightings. Bob penned this poem:
We decide to take a trip to our children and beyond. We load up our golden van and then we're gone. We look for all the miracles of life along our way- Of birds & deer & antelope. Then family makes our day. We celebrate birthdays with those we love. Then we are gone On the way to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is our song. We fly across the valleys, mounts, canyons, lakes & streams. We watch all the living miracles along lakes as rivers sing. We find a special place at Antler Inn to stay 3 days. We took off to see the Elk Refuge. To our surprise that day Thousands of Elk spotted the meadow right in front of us. Swans, geese & big horn sheep came close within their trust. We then drove to the Tetons and saw moose, deer & fox, Coyotes and bald eagles in 3 days in different spots. We looked for the buffalo & bear (our summer friends). We left before we saw them, but we will come again.
Such a beautiful place, the tetons and so many good memories
