Sept. 11 - Antelope Flats and Jackson

Our last full day at Colter Bay. We are always sad to leave here. If this place were a person, I would say it is a kindred spirit to us. When we are not here, we long to be here. Here we feel the peace and beauty God intends for us to have and see.

Finally a huge herd of bison!!! It went on for miles!

Part of this barn is made of logs - on Antelope Flats Rd.

On one side of the road were lots of horses, and on the other was the herd of bison.

We went to Jackson Hole to eat at Bubba's BBQ. On the way, we drove the Antelope Flats loop, and finally did see some prong horn. Before we got to that road, we finally saw a huge herd of bison on one side of the road and a herd of horses on the other. The bison herd stretched for several miles. That was the most we have seen on this trip. The smoke still hinders the view, but beautiful it still is. When we got back from there, we started putting things in place for the long ride tomorrow to Vernal, Utah. We hope to spend four nights there to see Flaming Gorge and the dinosaur monument. We have loved the cold nights here and will miss that! It will be warmer in Vernal, no more nights in the 30's!
