Wyoming Sept 2009

> Monday - Driving to

Sunday - Alpine and Greys River

We arrived in Jackson Saturday evening, and Kellie captured a few sunset/dusk photos with my camera as we drove down the Snake River basin to Alpine. Spent the first and second nights with Rae Lynn and Marty. On Sunday, they took us out for an ATV ride into Bridger National Forest along the Greys River. The ride was about 35 miles round trip and took a few hours. It was tons of fun, and absoluely beautiful with all the fall color in the trees.
