Jackson Hole Wyoming

View of wheat fields while driving through Idaho. We saw miles and miles of Wheat fields, along with a few Potato fields and corn fields.
We stopped at a roadside rest in Idaho, and this is what we saw at the scenic view part of the rest area.

In Montana, at Bannack State Park we found this Ghost Town being preserved but not restored. This is Nancy walking up to the building to see if she could find any ghosts in the Hotel. Luckily she didn't find any! This was a gold mining town in the 1800's, and when the gold ran out, the town of 3000 was abandoned.

More buildings in the Ghost town. We tried very hard to find Ghosts, but unsuccessful. We are glad we stopped here to take the tour.

We started this morning in Wyoming, then drove through a portion of Idaho, then into Montana. The scenery has been fabulous and we now understand why Montana is called "Big Sky Country".
Tomorrow we plan to tour a Silver mine in Wallace Idaho, then a lot more driving toward Seattle.
