Here I am back in Dubois, WY, after a four year absence. I'm visiting friends at their beautiful home on the Wind River. This is the first time I traveled here from west to east. I drove from Portland and spent a night in Boise, Idaho. Not a bad road trip, although much of eastern Oregon and western Idaho is pretty desolate - I see why those Oregon Trail settlers wanted to keep going and reach the fertile Willamette Valley.

The road from Jackson Hole to Dubois is as spectacular as ever. Here are a few photos taken yesterday evening and this morning. Traveling back here reminds me why I no longer want to live in the crowded Northeast.
