Trip home from the day away!

So Tueday afternoon it was time to head home. We drove home through Star Valley. The views were still very beautiful, however we decided that the best part of the drive was from Pinedale to Jackson Hole. Aside from the wonderful scenery there is a TON of wildlife to see, we were hoping to see a bear but that didn't happen this trip, maybe next time. Just outside of Jackson there was a bunch of cars parked and people walking around taking pictures, Darin caught a glimpse of a Moose so we stopped and got a few pictures as well. We got stopped by Road Construction, although not for long! Darin drove most of the way, however he got tired on the way home and asked Jo to take over. Shortly after the switch just long enough for him to get to sleep, there was this crazy stuff on the side of the road. Of course Jo hit the brakes, screamed and turned around to get a picture. It was like welded, painted animals. Crazy stuff! All in all the trip was great, way too short but great. Thanks Mom and Dad Bills for planning it and including it as Jo's birthday present. Also thanks to Darin for asking for a couple of days off work and allowing us to take the trip!


A shot from the car window of the pretty scenery on our drive!

The crazy welded wildlife Jo seen, and of course woke Darin up to see.


Another one of Jo's self portraits while stopped for the Road Construction. It was shortly after this stop that Jo took over for the very tired looking Darin.




The moose we say just off the road. There was a baby back in the bushes but you can't see it very well in any of the pictures.



Another shot of the moose. They must be used to all the people because it wasn't jumpy or anything. We were stopped for about 10 minutes taking pictures and it just went about it's day the entire time.


Just to show you how close the moose was on the side of the road. This was after most of the cars had left.
