Yellowstone Finale 09/28/20

King of the Mountain

 Today is our last day in Jackson Hole Valley.    Tomorrow we will begin our journey home to Alabama.  We will drop Harry and Amanda at the Jackson Airport.  Their flight will leave at 7:30 A.M.  Linda and I will be driving out about the same time.  Harry and Amanda will arrive back in Atlanta around 6:30 P.M. and then drive to Prattville.  Linda and I have stops planned in Estes Park, CO, Amarillo, TX, and Conway AR.  We are stopping in Estes Park for two nights to tour the Rocky Mountain National Park.  We plan to be back in Alabama sometime Saturday,  We would like to be there to watch the Auburn- Georgia game on T.V.

This has been a great trip.  We have explored the Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Teton National Park.  We have seen elk in both parks.  We have seen buffalo in both parks.  We have seen moose in the Grand Teton Park.  Today we took an early drive into the Grand Tetons for one more try at seeing a bear.

While we were not successful in that endeavor,  we did see a bald eagle, a herd of antelope in Antelope Flats and about 9 elk in the Teton range.

We drove to Wilson and had lunch at Persephone's restaurant. We drove back into Jackson to Albertsons and picked up some porkchops for dinner.  We then went to downtown Jackson and the ladies shopped.  Harry and I went from one bench to another.

We are back at the condo now.  I am writing the blog,  Amanda and Linda are packing, and Harry is getting the grill ready.  It is time to  return home and plan the next escape.
