As you know we traveled over Douglas Pass into Wyoming, heading to Green River.  Along the way we had to travel around Flaming Gorge Dam

WOW!

We went through Vernal, Utah, which impressed me with all the flowers lining the streets and loaded around all the public buildings.

It looked like they used three colors of the ‘wave’ petunias…the effect was outstanding.

In Green River, we walked along the walk way…there we saw these amazing gold fish…none of us had ever seen gold fish of this type and size before….gold/red bodies and black heads

Lucky for us a couple of local men were fishing in the area and caught one.  They told us we were looking upon

spawning salmon!

He quickly threw the fish back into the Green River, since catching a salmon during spawn season is illegal.  Since none of us were fishermen we were delighted to see a spawning salmon.

Another stop I, personally enjoyed, was the museum at Pinedale, Wyoming

If you ever get to go there you will see exhibits of the fur traders, Plains Indians, a early settlement exhibits.

Pinedale is not far from where the Annual Rendezvous occurred during the Beaver trapping days.

I could have spent HOURS there….

but on we had to go.

Of course, I was excited to see what was in-store for all us on down the road.
