Dubois WY

The results from Josie's mammogram in the morning were a bit confusing. The hospital is saying that there is something there, but cannot determine what it is (?). They recommended that Josie get another mammogram when she returns to AZ in October. Sheesh. It was following this experience at the hospital when we decided to take our drive to forget the hospital visit. It is a very nice small town hospital where we always found parking near the front door and where the wait to be seen is very short. We are wondering about the results though.

We started out following the hospital visit wanting to take a drive to someplace we haven't been before. One of our coworkers was telling us about a little known road off the highway to Dubois, WY, which runs along the Buffalo Fork River - tributary of the Snake River. It was a nice drive through some pretty countryside and we could get some photos of the Tetons from a different perspective:

The road was probably 5 miles long before it became a dirt road and we turned around to go back.

We spotted these folks that were returning from a horseback ride at one of the ranches along this road:

There were several of these ranches on this road that specialized in riding, fishing and dude ranch vacations.

As it was still fairly early in the day, we decided to continue on to Dubois, which is a neat town about 75 miles from Jackson. It is known for very different rock formations and the ride from the Tetons to Dubois is a beautiful one that also crosses the Continental Divide along the way at 9584 feet. This is one shot we took of one of the unusual mountains near Dubois:

We had a late lunch at the Cowboy Café in Dubois before heading home. It is a highly rated restaurant in Dubois and was not disappointing. We made one last stop at the DQ in Jackson before arriving home at 5:30 last night.

It's back to work today at 3 PM, so we will have to get some chores done by then...
