thunder turtle chronicles
 
 
We loved driving through Wyoming! On our way back from South Dakota, we had to stop by Gold Bug Hot Springs - truly a (maybe the) premiere natural hot springs. Then we had a glorious drive along the most fantastico Salmon River - this river is so beautiful and graceful, it made me consider taking up fishing!
