Friday saw us heading home. We checked the weather report Thursday night and saw that thunderstorms were expected at Bear Lake around 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon. We planned to be well past there by then, but decided to get up and go in the morning just to make sure.
We alternated chasing the clouds and being followed by the clouds, depending on where we were on our route. It was quite cold in the morning - 30 degrees as we left Jackson. But it warmed up to the mid-fifties a couple of hours later. It is good to have warm gear.
Once we hit Bear Lake we took a different route home - through the canyon between Bear Lake and Logan. Oh my, I believe it is the most beautiful canyon I've ever driven through. No pictures. It was too cold to mess with the camera. Take my word for it. Unbelievable. Red, orange, yellow, and evergreens everywhere. Stunning. Once again, almost no one but us and a few cattle herders and a couple of hunters around.
We saw threatening clouds looming ahead as we hit our last stretch toward home, but only had rain for the last 30 minutes of the ride. Once again, good gear makes it all okay. We got home and unloaded everything and the wind and rain kicked up like crazy. We made it home just in time. I can't believe we had such stellar weather that whole time until the very end.
What a great time we had!

Sounds like such a great trip. Cynthia would die over those bear pictures - I'll have to show her (her very favorite part about Jackson was finding all the bear statues. We didn't see any as neat as those, though - she would have loved them).
