A faithful dribble

Today we took the trip up from Lander to Jackson on one of the more interesting roads of America. It took us up and around through Forests and into the hills.
We once again found ourselves driving across large plains with the snow topped mountains looming in the distance. Every so often we'd drive past deer having a get together or running along side us. More animals such as small country people ran across the road in front of us and waving wildly.

As we went on we found the Americans ideas on road works to be more and more annoying. With roadworks stretching over 8 miles at a time leaving us with Dirt roads through the forests which left our car camouflaged. It didn't help us in our search for wildlife though.
These forests seemed to have an absence of any creatures even as we travelled into the National parks of the Grand Tetons and decided to divert up into the Yellowstone National park and off to see Old Faithful.
Travelling past Massive lakes, incredible gorges and cascades on our route. Also through more intolerable roadworks past areas of the Great Fire of 1988 which still leaves large areas stripped clean slowly regrowing.
