Re: We are moving to Wyoming...just an hour and a half from the park

Rik, would you care to share how you settled on Powell, as opposed to some of the other towns in the area, such as Cody or Lovell? If not, no problem.

Very cool, but I'm kinda glad I'm not there right now. I'll be back in October when the crowds have thinned out.

Re: Market Lake Idaho

I went there once a few years ago. Got some great burrowing owl shots back next to that little barn down the dirt road.

Rik, Great photos!!! I always wanted to see one but never have. Are they still endangered or have they made a comeback?

--Bill
