CCC Ponds - Pinedale, WY

Three lakes called the CCC ponds (Duck, Fish, and Beaver ponds) have a nice walking path around them.  They were started by the CCC in the 1930's but weren't finished until local residents took it on in the mid-80's. 

Lots of blooming wildflowers,


ospreys in a nest, and some antelope but no moose. 

The Beaver pond is where we were most likely to glimpse a moose. If no moose, then beaver or listen to the different bird sounds. Well.... not today. All we heard was "beep-beep-beep" and the clang of rocks being dropped from the excavator bucket.

 Ah, well, maybe next time :0)
