September 11, 2010 Leaving Jackson, Wyoming




It was a spectacularly beautiful morning. As beautiful as it was 9 years ago on this date. The mountains were wonderful, with snow capped peaks. We headed north to head east, so we passed along the Teton range again. It turned out to be a bittersweet view, as we learned later that Mike's sister Mary lost her valiant fight with cancer this morning.





The drive out of the mountains was amazing, despite road difficulties early on. Then we traveled across Wyoming, from the mountains, over the high plains, with the terrain changing particularly in color. The mountains were green, then brown. Drove miles with little traffic and not much in the way of civilization. Lots of fence and the occasional herd of cows. Ended the day in the capital city of Cheyenne.
