Our route was through Yellowstone and we saw lots of animals - the usual bison, elk and deer - and this shot is of a group of bison that we saw among the geysers:
Our first sighting of the Tetons was shortly after leaving Yellowstone, and you can that the weather was not the best and that clouds enveloped most of the mountains. They still are spectacular:
Our arrival at the Gros Ventre Campground occurred at 11 AM and we parked in front of the office to wait for our meeting with our Superviser at 11:30.
We walked to our site to make sure it was OK, especially for our satellite dish. It was excellent, to say the least.
Our supervisor - Bridget Bottomley - met us and gave us the instructions for our first day at work on Thursday. She also gave us more paperwork to be completed by Thursday and she gave us our badges, uniforms and some reading material. After she left, we set up in our fantastic site, #245:
It is difficult to describe how nice the site is as we have nothing behind us except forest and the river. We have no close neighbors and it wasn't long before we had our first visit by wildlife. These whitetail deer calmly walked through the area while we were setting up:
We drove to the Post Office which is located across the street from our Visitor Center where we will be working and set up a P. O. Box for the summer. Our address here will be: PO Box 82, Moose, WY 83012. Simple enough.
As we were settling in for the evening, one of our neighbors and coworkers knocked on our door to introduce herself and to tell us that there was a moose grazing in the woods behind our space. Sure enough, there was a young cow moose walking along in the woods. It was out of sight before we could get a good shot - but there will be more. Animals are constantly coming through this area so we expect to get many shots during the summer.
So far, we are very happy with everything and are looking forward to a great summer...
