"M" On the mountain!

We were driving through Montpelier, ID and saw this bear statue so we had to stop.

We were really surprised that it was a memorial to Old Ephraim. It's not on any of our roadside attraction websites.

Old Ephraim was the last grizzly bear in Utah. He lived from about 1911 to August 1923. Also known as "Old Three Toes" because of a deformity on one foot. This made it easy to track him. He weighed 1,110 pounds. He stood around 10 feet tall. There is more than one memorial to him.

We saw so many Arctic Circles around we had to try one.

And a huckleberry sake. It was good!

We stopped in Jackson Hole, WY. We stayed at the Teton Mountain Lodge.

We were upgraded to a GIANT 2-bedroom suite.

It was bigger than all of the apartments I've lived in.

It could easily sleep 6 people. We walked around feeling guilty we had all of that extra space.

The door had an electronic lock and it lead to a small hallway that we shared with our next door neighbor. That hallway also had an electronic lock on it.
