Momentary Bliss

DAY TWENTY-FOUR, SECOND HALF: After our morning adventures, Ellen and I went out on to Jackknife Road this afternoon for a little walk. Jackknife Road starts out as Creamery Road in Wyoming, but becomes Jackknife when it crosses over into Idaho, and you go up into National Forest. What a beautiful spot. The sun is warm on your back, there are wildflowers alongside the road and blanketing the sides of the hills, a stream is gurgling nearby, the birds are singing, and snow-capped mountains are in the distance. It was bliss. Photos cannot really capture such a moment, but maybe they'll give a sense of it.
