Jackson, WY

Here are the pictures from Jackson, WY.

I had CaDee come with me to keep me company on my long and boring drive. We had quite a bit of fun!


We took a few photos on the way home. This is the antler archway in the middle of Afton, WY


We stopped to check out the Great Wall of Snow. It was intense... (I won't mention that CaDee almost fell through it when she stood on it..)


The foot hole to prove it...


...CaDee standing on the snow ;)


Having a good time!!

20 minutes after this shot was taken, we were passing through Cokeville, WY... right outside of town I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a police cruiser coming up on me at a high rate of speed. I assumed that he was trying to get to the scene of an accident so I pulled to the side of the road. He proceeded to pull in behind me. I couldn't figure out for the life of me what I was getting pulled over for. He decided to take his sweet time getting to the car.

I got pulled over for accelerating before getting to the next speed limit sign. I rolled through Cokeville at 40 mph (the posted speed). I saw the 65 mph sign about 50 yards ahead. Like a normal person I started to accelerate to get up to 65. I guess this is an illegal thing to do. After the officer gave me a 100 dollar piece of paper he told me I should start paying attention and slow down.. 55 mph in the middle of nowhere sounds like a pretty safe speed to me.. but who am I to judge?

Not too long after being pulled over, CaDee saw a Bald Eagle on the side of the road sitting on a fence post. It was the first time I have seen one up close and personal.



The eagle sat on the post for a little bit before he took off.


Here is a shot of it right before he took off. Unfortunately we couldn't get a wingspan shot.

Well folks, until next time..
