8/19/2017 There we are with our camp all set up for the Eclipse.  In a stunning location  near the south fork of the Snake River and the Caribou-Targhee national forest.  So with sunset still 3 hours away Raven, Bill, and I load up in my car to go exploring and take a few pictures.  It was a gorgeous drive.

A few photos from road not to be taken, ever, ever, again, though it did get us some wonderful photographs…  Perhaps I need to buy a 4 wheeler.

After an insane multi point turn-around we got back to the better gravel roads. Where more gorgeous scenery awaited us.

It looks like a mesa but it’s really the edge of a set of cliffs. The Snake River flows along in front of that cliff.

Lots of people were out camping in the forest and someone had brought their llamas.  This one is just so adorable.

We really did spend almost 3 hours taking pictures and driving around the back roads.  I only put a few of the pictures from my Flickr Album (https://www.flickr.com/photos/jsemenza/albums/72157687895532896) on this blog post.
