Only the adventurous...

The fireworks at Jackson Hole were amazing. I've overheard, more than once, people talking about how it' ranked 5th in the Country...not sure if thats true...but they were really good. We sat with our new found friend Debbie. After the show we took a couple pictures of us all, and then said our good byes...it was like saying good bye to an old friend. Debbie made us promise to stop by her place on the way home when we go through Kentucky.... She's sooooo nice.


This morning we woke in a hotel parking lot...again... We hit the road for Yellowstone at 9 o'clock sharp. We didn't make it quite to Yellowstone however. We got caught up in the beauty of Grand Teton and decided to stay the night. We broke down and got a camp site, but also bought a 40 dollar backpacking tent, so in the future we can stay in the back country for free. It will be nice to sleep somewhere besides the van tonight. The camp site is really nice. While gathering firewood behind our site in the woods, (which took us an hour), we got off track and followed a barely visible trail deeper into the woods...about 2 minutes later this is what we found:
Not exactly mentioned at the camp ground gate...or in the brochure..definitely bathing here tonight...We drove around in the park for a while listening to music...Sierra doesn't appreciate my love for Johnny Cash... But it's okay, I don't appreciate her Beiber Fever. We also drove back to Jackson about an hour ago for a 5 gallon pail. We are still seeing plenty of elk and bison. Now, Sierra is making hamburger helper and we are just relaxing. 

Tomorrow morning we are doing a short hike around Jennie Lake, (in the park), and then off to Yellowstone.
