We’re just finishing a two-week stay in the very small town of Dubois, WY situated at an elevation of 7200 ft on the Wind River east of Grand Teton NP. Dubois, with a population of only 900, most of whom are ranchers, has yet to be discovered by the masses and is sometimes referred to as an ’embryonic’ Jackson (that tourist mecca just outside Grand Teton NP). The high desert climate has the most ideal weather we have encountered on our trip, high’s in the low 80’s and low’s down into the 40’s at night with an occassional afternoon thunderstorm.

We headed down into Yellowstone again, this time toward the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which is a region we had not previously explored. We were able to watch a black bear and her cub meander through a field of flowers looking for tidbits, totally unperturbed by the hordes of onlookers. 
We’re spending a whole week at Yellowstone’s Edge RV Park which is about 30 miles north of the North Entrance to Yellowstone NP. We’ve made two forays into the park so far, once to explore the Mammoth Hot Springs area and the next day to cross the Lamar Valley and on to Cooke City outside of the park for lunch and then back. 
The Boothbay Harbor Region is located in the most picturesque part of coastal Maine, with deep coves and small villages dotting the area. Fishing is still the main industry and cute seafood restaurants seem to be in every small harbor. Artists have now discovered the area and so along with the good food there are hundreds of various types of galleries to visit. The 9 days that we spent there gave us a good idea of the region but there was still lots of unexplored territory and beautiful galleries to visit. 
The fiddles were playing and the chowder was hot and delicious all over the small towns of Cape Breton Island. Unfortunately the WiFi and our cell service was very sporadic, hence the lack of blog updates. So we spent about 2 weeks just enjoying the people and some of what this beautiful island had to offer. The island, which is on the far eastern part of Nova Scotia, has a shared very strong Celtic and Acadian influence. One can stay in an Acadian village where French is the first language and travel just down the road to be greeted with signs in English and Gaelic.
