from jackson wyoming

dick cheney's home state, one of my favorites. well, it's been a few days, i only got one picture posted before the computer started effin up. sorry. i have lots more when i can get to a cooperative computer.

more high prairie in idaho. many miles more of fence posts, telephone poles, snow plow markers. sagebrush must be the most common plant form in the US. had to stop in mud city, idaho (not a made-up name). had to stop, as in jaca- had-to-stop. of course, in the gas station/cafe/post office/deli/pizzeria/bait & ammo store that we stopped, the lady at the cash register, right next to the bathroom doors, was the sister of the wicked witch of the west, and of course there was a sign on the mens room door saying out of order. so like it or not, i had to initiate a conversation with the witch, in my very agitated gastro-intestinal state, as to whether or not it would be okay if i used the ladies room. she nodded her approval. it all worked out in the end...


Yellowstone N.P. video, part 1

so yellowstone and teton parks both still have major road closures due to snow removal ongoing. it added some time and miles to our trip. the parks are amazing. i know i've used that word before but, that's what it is. you want animal sightings? wolf twice, this morning right in front of the car, i video'd him. moose this afternoon in teton. tons of elk and buffalo. yesterday when we saw them for the first time, it was like oh wow how cool is that, taking pictures and all. today, when we came upon about 30 buffalo in the middle of the road, i was cursing at them to get the hell out of the way. it's a metro nyc thing i guess.


Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone video

yellowstone with all the thermal activity going on is as if we were neolithic man thousands of years ago and seeing what it was like for him. from our rented car of course.

the tetons, the GRAND tetons. named after women's breasts by explorers who were away from home and their women for who knows how long. they see these magnificent projections from the earth and think of womens breasts. i can relate. they are magnificent and mesmerizing to watch. just like... never mind, PG.

so tomorrow we are leaving the tetons for rawlins, and then into colorado the next day. we've turned the corner, we're on our way back south again. i miss everybody. sorry there's only one picture. i'll try to get some more up when i can.
