Through Idaho and into Wyoming

Just out of Salt Lake is the Great Salt Lake that the city is named for, we rode along the side of it for some time then headed toward Bear Lake.

The road through here reminded me a bit of NZ, there was curves in the road along the side of a river amongst mountains. It was a cooler day to ride. We spotted an elk on the side of the road that must have run in front of a vehicle and came off second best, there were quite a few beaver dams in the creeks along the side of the road, they were cool to see but only at a quick glance at 70mph.
We stopped at a town called Afton  that had the words longest Elkhorn archway and there were bears everywhere.

 Although my sister in law is a Paris at the moment we did ride through a small town called The City of Paris.

Right through here it was impressive to see all the huge churches with large car parks, all full. I almost stopped to join in (almost)
It was a bit of a surprise to come to the town of Grover (although ì had seen it on the map at some time ì had not planned to travel through here.)

We spent the night in a BnB 1 hour short of Jackson, the price was not to be passed up compared with Jackson (similar to Queenstown prices ranged from $300 per night and upward) . Our hosts have been rehabilitating 2 raccoons that were orphaned very young. They fare very mischevious critters but fun to watch.

In the winter here the snow sits 6 feet deep but they had 4 skidoo to use, it would be so much fun to come have a play.

Dinner was to be as Dad's Bar, it was open but not for meals on a Sunday. A local pointed us toward a BBQ shop that was open, nothing else was, we had a lovely feed of ribs with a 4th generation sauce.
