~Off of Antelope Flats Road in The Tetons sits an old barn, and it is probably the most photographed barn in the US. It was built by Thomas Alma Moulton and his sons between 1912 and 1945.
It sits west of the road known as Mormon Row, in an area called Antelope Flats, between the towns of Kelly and Moose. Now lying within Grand Teton National Park, it is near the homestead of Andy Chambers. The property with the barn was one of the last parcels sold to the National Park Service by the Moulton family. Often photographed, the barn with the Teton Range in the background has become a symbol of Jackson Hole.
~A Mountain Blue Bird came for a visit yesterday. I looked out the RV window and there she was, sitting on a fence post. I haven’t seen one in a long time.
~Yesterday we drove from Rawlings to Rock Springs, WY, and spent one night. Green River is a neighboring town of Rock Springs. We walked along the picturesque Green River, which is a fun area for walking, biking, rafting, and fishing. The town looks very nice, to include historic buildings, shopping, restaurants and lots of recreational areas.
Here are a few photos of the area.

If you are ever driving along I-80 near Green River, WY stop and take a walk!
We left Home yesterday and are headed to Rim Station RV near Pinedale, WY. We will be about 30 miles from Jackson. It has been a long time since my last visit to the Tetons and I am looking forward to seeing this beautiful area again.
Here is a photo taken at a rest stop along I-80 in Wyoming of Elk Mountain. I hope to share photos with you along our journey.
This morning we left Loveland, Colorado, destination Oregon!
It is fun to be back on the road again, but oh so soon after just arriving back home! Oh well – life is calling!
We have been planning a westward trip for several summers and finally, this summer, we are heading west. It has been several years since we were on the Oregon Coast and we are looking forward to our visit.
After we leave the Coast we are heading to Glacier!
We have never been there, so this trip will be extra special!
Today we travelled scenic Colorado Highway 287 from Fort Collins, CO to I-80.
It was a gorgeous day. Breathtaking backdrops for our leisurely drive today, were the spectacular Rocky Mountains. Deep, blue skies with white puffy clouds provided striking contrasts.
With all the spring rain, the country side is filled with lush greenery as far as the eye can see.
Here and there, white and rusty colored bodies could be seen grazing on the bountiful grasses. Grouping of Antelope, some with new borns, provided a little entertainment.
Our only complaint was the wind.
Once we hit Wyoming and turned west, on I-80, we encountered strong wind with gust up to 40 miles per hour. Not fun!
After spending a lot of time getting things ready to leave, I am now back to blogging! I intend to stop by some of my favorite blogs, visit new ones, contribute with photos on those I enjoy and plan to post a few about our travels west.
Hopefully, I will be making music with my friends and will have beautiful things to write about and take photos of.
On the road again
written and recorded by Willie Nelson
On the road again just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again like a band of gypsies we go down highway
We’re the best of friends insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way is on the road again just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again like a band of gypsies we go down highway
We’re the best of friends insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way is on the road again just can’t wait to get on the road again
