Great shot of you two and that famous antler arch! I haven't been there in more years than I can count, but hope to return some day. As for the national parks, I now think I can find less-traveled roads and campgrounds to enjoy rather than spending time in what seems to have become nothing more than big business ventures. I am so thankful my visits out west were in the early 60s before most people realized they could drive to get away from it all. No longer possible to get away from it all out there from what I am hearing from many of you who are visiting those gorgeous sites.
In reality, the price of gasoline might just keep me very narrowed down in my travels for the rest of my life, unless I decide to work again. Luckily, I have at least two parts of the nation I totally love to explore by truck, on foot, by bicycle, and by canoe-----my Adirondack home and my central FL home with son's campsite he set up for me in St. Cloud. The touristy thing has never appealed to me, although I love to read you-all's adventures and see pics of where you have been and what you have visited.
As I type this message, all I can hear from my trailer is crickets, cicadas, warning peeps of White-throated sparrows who no longer are singing their mating calls, occasional hawk cries from the sky. Even the robins no longer wake me with their long chirruping, although they are still hanging around a bit longer to get worms from my mowed lawn. Although I will watch fall arrive here and see the blinding colors of the maple trees, see the geese head south, maybe even see the first snowflakes fall, I have the spring-like weather that FL provides for the winters down there to look forward to! And even a GTG to plan for in January!
Thanks for sharing your meeting out there in Wyoming!
