It was a gray, overcast day so we decided to go to the lodge and work on out blog. We stayed until a little after noon and caught up on computer stuff. In the afternoon, I sewed and watched a movie while Ted read in the bedroom.
After dinner, it wasn't raining so we decided to take the five mile drive up signal mountain. On our way up the narrow, winding mountain road, there were cars parked in the middle of the road with their doors open blocking the road. When they finally got back to their cars they said that they had seen the largest mule deer they had ever seen and were really excited about how big it was. On our way back down there were still cars there, again talking about the huge mule deer. I took one look and knew it was an elk. I wonder what stories they will have to tell when they show their photos to people.
At the top of the mountain, the parking lot faces the fields away from the Tetons and the lake. We stood there with our binoculars and could see over twenty-five elk down in the sagebrush fields. We could hear the sandhill cranes but weren't able to pick them out at that distance. It was still pretty overcast and when we stopped and walked to the Jackson Lake Overlook, it was like someone had taken the mountains away. They were totally obliterated by clouds. We got back to the motorhome about eight just in time for the rain to start and it rained pretty much all night.
