Another Moose

It remained cold and stormy yesterday but we wanted to try and see how much snow fell in the mountains. After breakfast and watching the Weather Channel for awhile, we went for a drive out to the park. On the way to the park, there were cars all over the side of the road leading up to the park and along the Elk Refuge at the north end of town. Sure enough, there was a big bull moose inside the fence at the Elk Refuge working his way north:

We followed him all along the fence and we found an opening where we could catch a couple more shots:

You can see the snow flurries in those pictures as it was still snowing near noon when these shots were taken.

We continued on into the park and really couldn't see much with the skies so gray and the clouds enveloping the mountains. We did get some shots of the beautiful fall colors, especially along the river bed:

We returned home and decided to return late in the afternoon and possibly catch the mountains before sunset. We did get some nice shots and you can see from these that the snow level was about half way up, or at about 7500 feet:

Our two days off were wrapped up last night with a knock on our door from the maintenance guy at the lodge who brought a package to us that was sitting in the lobby - our replacement receiver from DirecTV. It was delivered sometime during the day and we didn't receive any call that it arrived, but that will be the project for this morning - installing the new receiver.

Our final three work days begin today, so we are on the final leg of our stay at Jackson...
