MORE EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME

Our drive to/from the store continues to be an adventure.  We saw two different moose recently wandering through the sagebrush and nibbling the ground cover.  The first moose was in a meadow along the Snake River and the second moose was near a housing area for National Park Service workers by the south entrance to Grand Teton National Park.  Notice how close the 2nd moose is to the RV.  There was a park ranger by the road protecting the moose from tourists as they snapped photos, so that they would leave the moose alone.  Some tourists forget that the we are sharing the park with the wildlife - it is their home, not ours.

 




























We have been extremely busy at the store this past week.  Our total sales have climbed into the 4K range over the Memorial Day weekend.  The most unique experience was verifying a signature on a credit card when the signature was written in Chinese.  The letters looked the same so I handed the girl her card and receipt.  I also met a young couple in their late 20's who live in the Palo Alto area and who had visited Ann's cousin's gourmet restaurant, Manresa, in Los Gatos.     

Some of the female bison have now had their calves.  This calf is not more than one or two days old.  Twice this past week we have again been stopped by bison crossing the road.  Here are some pictures of the baby calves.
