On to Denver and then Virginia

September 23: :  Generator problems last night and this morning. Think it is the altitude (8,600+ feet) with the carburetor not set for this height. Took us all day to get south of Jackson. Not many miles but lots of pull off and fantastic scenery. We loved the majestic Tetons and lots of wildlife. Saw a grizzly taking a nap, herds of elk and bison. Tonight we are camping at Hoback, a NFS campground. We had our back in the USA celebration a steak, vegetables, potato and a bottle of wine. Nice night and days have been back in the 60’s with colder nights. One more night in WY and should hit Denver next day. Tomorrow we hit interstate and that is the end of boon docking and NFS campgrounds.









September 24: Today was a day if driving. We took the scenic route. That translates to open range land and cattle guards on state roads. There even was a cattle guard on the interstate ramp. Today was our first time on and interstate since leaving Reeder and Barbs on July 31, other than a stretch from Canadian border and Great Falls. On the open range we saw golden eagles, hundreds of antelope, cows and a band of wild horses. Tomorrow will be Denver and it has been a long time since we been here.



It's back to interstate. note cattle guard.
We will be in Denver for 2 days and then on to home.  The last days will be driving 13 to 14 hours a day and staying in Flying J's.  This has been a wonderful trip and we are looking forward to Denver, seeing friends and then home.  In summary we are very glad we went to Alaska and the experiences were exceptional.
