The sight of these two rafts and another canoe being swirled down and around in fast moving muddy waters of Snake River Gorge had us stop to admire their courage [ or foolishness ].

We then moved with more speed to Signal Mountain Campground where we hoped we would be in time to obtain a site, preferably near the lake.

Note the bear food cabinet on the left in the picture. That item is essential if you are not to have an unwelcome encounter with a foraging bear, especially if you are camping in a tent as were the people on the neighbouring site.
We soon had dinner cooking on the gas cooker and sat around the fire enjoying the moment and appreciating the beautiful, crystal clear, starry sky. Maybe the altitude - the camp ground is at 6824 feet - added to the clarity of the sky. Definitely the absence of phone calls and the www.com added to the peace but this night was one to be appreciated and will be remembered for many years to come.

Our next adventure will be at Yellowstone National Park where we have reserved a camping site for several days . . .
Super scenery. It was only last week that we were there. hard to believe now we are back in Oz. I went on one of those rafts in Cody, I got soaked and scared but in the end it was fun and I was proud of myself.
ReplyDeleteDiane - you were VERY brave to take on those rapids! It must have been such a lot of fun - at the end when safely on two legs on the land! Cody looked a very interesting town but unfortunately we had other places on our agenda and limited time.
