Moose and The Mormon Row
Wednesday
Looking for a gentle day today we drove south past Jenny Lake and stopped at the Thompson Visitor Center near Moose (a place, rather than the animal) where we watched an interesting film about how The Grand Tentons is about living on the Edge, only to realise that we had seen the same film in Colter Bay VC on Monday Durr!!! Still it was a good film. We had lunch looking at some nice flowers then visited Mormon Row, where a bunch of Mormon Settlers lived for a while, until the drop in food prices and increase in living prices forced them out, leaving the abandoned houses there as a memorial to their passing. We met a very nice family from Michigan while we were there and talked for a while, it was fun.
While having our lunch I spied a white swallowtail butterfly which was enjoying feeding from the profusion of Indian Paintbrush flowers.
