Tuesday 8/21
On our way to Flaming
Gorge...through some big Wyoming towns which clearly do booming business in
skiing/fishing/boating/hunting/taxidermy tourism. In Pinedale, I saw two small flocks of geese
flying overhead...must have been traveling to the lake nearby. Always a good omen for me.
The drive into the Gorge was "exciting"---lots of ups and downs at very steep angles, no guardrails and constant & close proximity to death. Poor Nils! It was pretty stressful for him. We made it, though, and found THE best spot on Mustang Ridge (#43)...we have a view overlooking the Reservoir and we can walk into the red rocks which descend to the water's edge. Just gorgeous.

After our early dinner
we went for a little cooling swim at the nearby "beach" which was
very refreshing. We KNEW there was a
reason that we brought swim noodles with us all the way from Deerfield! Later, after a nap, we checked out the boat
launch for tomorrow's planned kayaking.
It was hot til evening but then cooled down quickly. We feel as though we're practically the only
ones here right now. The camp host told
us that come Thursday it would totally fill up again.
