Our first day we ended up in Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area on the Utah/Wyoming border. John Wesley Powell named this gorge after going down the Green River and seeing the red canyon walls. In the early 60's, it was dammed and is now a 91 mile long reservoir. We did a tour of the dam itself. After we parked, we noticed the sign. A young man had been standing in front of it....but I guess we qualify. 
Gazillions of trout circle, waiting for the handout of fish pellets.
After the tour, we grabbed our backpacks and headed out for a 3 mile hike along the river. It was hazy due to the smoke from wildfires but still very beautiful and peaceful. There were many fisherman and rafters on the river.
Always being watched.......about the same size as the anoles in Florida.
We are now in Grand Teton NP and my battery is very low as I sit outside the store where the WIFI is great. Talk tomorrow.
