An early morning

We decided to get up at 5:30 this morning so we could at least get in a 1/2 day of sightseeing in Eastern Idaho before taking the car in for repair.  We are so glad we did.  On our way to the Mesa Falls, there were 2 moose on the roadway.  I tried to get a picture, but those animals are fast.  They galloped off like horses, so all I got was a brown blurr.



It's a moose, trust me!  At the Falls, we had a hummingbird buzzing around us.  It too was too quick for a picture.  Now these Falls are worth the scenic drive to get there.  They have upper and lower.  We were the only ones at the park being it was only 7:30 by the time we arrived.  The air was misty and cool.

                               These few pictures are of the Mesa Upper Falls.

 

      The next few are taken at the Mesa Lower Falls.

I think this is a marmot scurrying around the tuffs.  He had a hidden stash of pine nuts.


This is the view on our way back to Idaho Falls of the Grand Tetons across the valley.



Well, the technician just came in.  The bad news, the part that came in from Denver is defective.  We are now on our way to rent a car so we can at least go to the Tetons for 24 hours before another part gets overnighted in from another area of the country.  Will let you know as soon as we are able to resume a "normal" part of our trip.  All I can keep telling myself is, "God has a plan, and He is guiding our steps to keep us safe, and give us the opportunity to maximize the pleasures of His beauty."  God knows best, and I put my trust in him. :)
