Wyoming was next

Wyoming was designed to be a hunting trip, but along the way I was joined by my wife and daughter. We did some hiking, some shooting, scouting for deer, elk, and moose. We also visit Jackson, Teton and Yellowstone parks. The Parks were like walking into a State that has never been discovered. The pools, geysers, waterfalls, bison and moose, are awe inspiring. We have been to the city of Jackson before, and the city is charming, and surrounded by mountains and the Elk preserve. It is starting to get crowded, and construction gave us traffic. We have seen deer right in town.
There was a lot of land that had been scorched by fires from about 2 years ago. The animals are starting to move back in. We were able to harvest a Mule deer. This was a mature deer. it is also the biggest deer I have had a first hand encounter with. This deer head will get mounted.
The girls enjoyed sight seeing, riding atv's, and shooting. It is a great get-away, and it would be a cool place to have a 2nd home (skipping the harshest part of winter). The real estate market is very expensive ( thanks to: out of state'rs moving in to escape the bounds of their over controlled state)
It would be a dream location to get away, Idaho is along the same lines. Maybe one day, I could afford something like that.



 

 

 
 
 



 







 




Wedding in North Carolina















 We visit my sister in NC as she is getting hitched. Great guy we really like. My daughter came up with her boyfriend (from SC). We enjoyed a day on lake Norman. We also visit a whitewater rapids park.

My niece and nephew helped me play up some fun pictures! Lake Norman is nice, and the housing around the lake is out of our price range, but it would be a great place to land.

We are torn between at least 3 beautiful places ( CA, NC, WY)
