Today Lyn (SoCalGalCas) and I separately arrived near where Sheila (snowball) spends her summers in southeast Idaho. We spent the day with Sheila showing us the sights in and around Grand Teton National Park. We forgot to take a pic during lunch but here are a few of what we saw of the area where Sheila grew up. I can't imagine growing up in such a beautiful place.

This area of Grand Teton National Park is known as Mormon Row and is frequented by tourists and buses of foreign visitors. It shows the early history of the area and the contributions made by Sheila's family to the growth and development of this beautiful area so we can now visit and marvel at its beauty and the hard work they put in. Thankfully the National Park Service has recognized the historical value of this area.

When Nan and I passed through and visited the farm area and Mormon Row what I thought was Wow, think about waking up everyday and going about your chores in the presence of such majesty.

I knew the buffalo weren't EXACTLY on your family's ranch Sheila, but felt a few hundred yards didn't make much difference and the grass was just as green. Just wanted everyone to know what it was like.

Sheila, that's a strong possibility.... Weather dependent, of course.
