My mother’s older than this National Historic Place

August 17
So here we are in a log cabin under the Wind River Mountain Range. The cabin was built in 1929, hence its status as a National Historic Place.

It was easy to find (turn right at the Freemasons’ Lodge) and it’s so cosy we almost stayed on the porch for the rest of the day whittling sticks but the great outdoors called us.

Every new place we go to, I prepare myself for an anti-climax just in case - but I haven’t been disappointed yet. We drove here through the Hoback Canyon, alongside the river then through the Bridger-Teton Forest. It was magnificent and the temperature was 70 degrees.

Once we dragged ourselves away from the cabin, we went up closer to the mountain range and visited some lakes.

This is real Brokeback Mountain country but haven’t seen a gay cowboy yet. Nor a happy one, nor even one who is faintly amused.
