Alaska Journey Day 108

A Grand Day

We opted for an early shot to the Grand Tetons because the campground is first come/ first serve and got in a nice site close to the river. We took the longer easier drive to the park from Idaho Falls with pleasant scenery and lots of huge ranches. One was for sale, 4187 acres. After we set up the trailer we went to the old Mormon ranch buildings to shoot some photos. There were bison there so that added a nice touch. Then to Jenny Lake. Our goal was hidden falls. So we boated to the other side of the lake and then hiked about 3/4 mile to the falls. Flowing well. The hike back around the lake, another 3 plus miles with two long and unexpected up hills. Bonus, we saw a moose in a pond and watcher her eat for a bit. Then back to the trailer for dinner and early night. 

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

Ms McKinley was right. I have already met Moose and have more days to go. Also they named a town, Moose, after me and I have only been in the state for a day. Now I know why Oming, a Great State and full of Great People and babies. (Being a pol means constant awareness of statements to make.) Not sure we need anymore time here but Ms. McK says a few more days to guarantee the result. I bet I can find some good lattes in the town of Moose.
