Happy 4.th of July!

This morning in 2009 - we started our trip from Idaho Falls i Idaho.  The Ford Flex turnes eastbound on Highway! 26 - 31 - 33 - 22 to Jackson Hole in Wyoming.  We saw the 4.th of July Parade - fantastic!

Nichlasen in front of Jackson Town Square - with one of the four elk antler arches - marvelous.

Then we turned northbound on Highway 89 - 191 through Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. 

Geysers nearby Old Faithful Geyser - Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.  It was great to see.  Later on the same day we saw a grizzly behind some trees and The American Eagle and lots of bisons. 

Highway 287 straight northbound to Ennis in Montana.  It was 4.th of July all over in this small American enjoyable town.

Have a great 4.th of July - and enjoy...

Moscow, Idaho

This is The Interstate 90 in Montana - it's green hills and big ranches with cows all over.
From Butte in Montana we drove west to Idaho State.

Here we are entering The State of Idaho, driving in the Rocky Mountains - I did! It was like a screwdriver! Fun!

This is where we entered Moscow - the first stop on our trip that "means" something to me - Lene my Great Great Grandmothers sister lived here with her family. And tomorrow I will go to The Cemetery to look for their gravestones - looking foreward to do that!!
