Active Day

Yesterday was one with lots of different activity. It was our final Sunday of working at the Visitor Center this season and also was the final day that we open. Following work, we thought we should make a final loop to Moose to check our mailbox, travel down the Moose/Wilson Road looking for bears, stop at the grocery store in Jackson and then get our car washed to remove all the mud and dirt from all the bad weather.

There was no mail in the PO Box which probably means the mail forwarding has kicked-in and everything went to AZ (we hope). The drive down Moose/Wilson Road produced some contact with bears. There were a total of 5 bears in the area, all eating berries from the bushes along the road. Because it was so dense with bushes, we couldn't get clear shots of them. We did however get a couple of peaks:

We probably would have gotten better shots of these bears if we stayed around, but there were many, many people that pulled off the side of the road and we didn't want to stay around waiting.

Since we have decided to go to Idaho Falls today, we scrapped the grocery store stop and went to the car wash. We finally had a break in the weather during the day yesterday and we took these shots of the resulting snowfall on the mountains:

We also took some more photos of the Fall colors that were seen on our drive:

Overnight, we had a dusting of snow in our area. Actually, it is snowing now and we may just scrap our trip to Idaho Falls as we watch the snow covering our freshly washed car:

We'll see how it goes during the next couple of hours.

There are only 4 working days left for us we will try to get some things packed while are off the next couple of days...
