Today we planned the next two weeks of this trip and then went to the Dubois Visitors Center and Museum. They have recreated a log cabin village where the Tie Hacks would have lived as they made their living cutting down trees and turning them into railroad ties to be floated down the river during the spring rush.
We then drove out to Whiskey Mountian Wildlife Refuge in the Shoshone National Forest. If we were to come here in November we would see fields full of big horned sheep, elk, moose and deer. Right now the fields are empty but the climb into the foothills was pretty and we did find a short hike up to some lovely waterfalls coming out of the mountain Lake Louise. The mountains on the east side of Dubois are called The Badlands and remind me somewhat of Capitol Reef National Park.
