Before we left Laramie we made a visit to the University of WYoming, then we were off to no man land. We would drive a 100 miles and not see anything human. Not only did we not see homes, we didn't even see power lines. It was very ineresting landscape, but it went on forever. We stopped in a town called Dubois and visited the Big Horn Sheep Center. That was interesting, they had sheep from all over the world mounted place lots of interesting facts. Our only mishap of the day was a flat tire, but we were very blessed b/c it happed in front of one of the only gas stations we had seen in hours. We found this beautiful lake that was five miles off the road. Our exploring paid off big time, it was one of the highlights of the day.
We finally got into the Grand Tetons. WOW! Pictures can not do justice on how awe inspiring these mountains are. But by this time we were exhausted and it was starting to storm, so we went to find our place for the night. The place is called FLagg Ranch Resort and it is between the two park systems. The resort part consisted of a log cabin with two beds and a bathroom. NO TV, cell service or WIFI. The kids were crushed. Thankfully we met up with Ann's family and that took the edge off of them.
