September 21 and 22, 2013..
Saturday.. We finished up some sightseeing in the Tetons and prepared for leaving the next day. In the late afternoon,  4 moose came walking through the campground near our campsite. It was really funny to hear the sounds they were making. I had not heard that sound before. We got a close up look at them.

While we were walking around the campground, we met a very nice couple from Melbourne, Australia. We talked with them for about 2 hours and I see a lasting friendship with them ahead.

Sunday.. We said goodbye to the Teton area and headed toward Casper, WY where we planned to spend the night. We had not traveled that particular route before and we really enjoyed the beauty during the first 100 miles or so of the 275 mile drive. This route took us across 9500 foot Togwotee Pass and through Bridger Teton National Forest. The aspen trees were at about their peak in color and the cottonwoods were pretty far along in their color change.

Tonight is the first time we have had electric and water hookups since we were at Cody, WY on September 3rd.  We would gladly swap the conveniences to be back in that peaceful beauty again.

We are spending the night in Casper, WY.
