In September of 1997, Felicia, Susie, Larry, and I flew into Salt Lake City and rented a 4WD SUV to go see Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons. This was the first of very many good trips we have taken together. We hiked through Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks, spent several days at Jackson Hole, saw a lot of good wildlife that we do not get to see in Texas and took a cold white-water raft trip down the Snake River.
These pictures are from Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah.

This is Felicia’s favorite cabin picture – it is in Driggs, Idaho on the backside of the Grand Tetons. We were really way out by ourselves in this small cabin and on the lookout for bears. From this cabin, we could see the Grand Targhee ski area across the border in Wyoming.
On the Snake River, we put on wet suits to try and keep dry & warm. We had a professional guide and went on medium hard rapids. Felicia pulled a guy back in the raft after he fell out and was holding on to the side. You can see him falling and hanging on in these 2 pictures taken by the always present picture guy who wants to sell you pictures – we bought some it looks like.
Felicia high up at Jackson Hole Ski Area is not afraid of heights anymore. She got very brave or very curious.
A giant potato in Driggs, Idaho at the Spud Drive Inn. I think we took this picture because that looked like one of my father’s old trucks.

We saw many deer, elk, buffalo, and a moose. Felicia kept counting on a piece of paper, she really wanted to see a bear, but in some of the places we were hiking, I was not sure we wanted to see any bears.
