 Waking up to the first glorious morning in Grand Tetons National Park |

 Ready to head into Yellowstone |
 David's packing in the calories any way he can |
 Yellowstone: Sunny as ever,
snowing flakes the size of quarters
|
 Shirtless o'clock on the trail. These two redheads are going to burn.... |
 Camp the third night in Yellowstone. |
 Kellie's happy for snow |
 That's a deep hole. Notice the
tree top at ground level...
|
 David's helping us adjust the bear hang position. |
 Kevin and David consume one pound burgers at Big Jud's in Ashton, Idaho. We were really hungry... |
 The Hungry Heffer: 16 huge scoops of beautiful, creamy ice cream. Fuel for the Tetons. |
 Entering the Grand Tetons by
walking 2 miles over Jackson Lake. We named the sled Cathy.
|
 The sketchiest river crossing ever, over a downed tree with 3 feet of loose snow on it. |
 Fording the Snake River on our
way out of the Tetons. This built character.
|
 20 hour drive on the way back
was not fun. Wyoming and South Dakota were never-ending states.
