It has been a whirlwind of trips for Julie, John, Lobo and Tonto! While John and I returned to the east coast for a short trip, Tonto and Lobo were busy entertaining John's mom and stepfather, Julie and Dennis. We were really fortunate that they decided to boondock up in the Unitas Mountains outside of Park City when we flew back to meet them and we spent a few (rainy) days camped together high in the mountains. After we relocated back into Tonto we decided to head for the Wind River Range in Wyoming for some backcountry adventure. We got some great advice from "Fred" at the Outdoor Store in Pinedale, Wy and headed into the Bridge-Teton National Forest. We left Tonto behind at the Big Sandy parking lot and began a beautiful four-day trip through three passes in a huge loop passing glaciers, lakes, and lots of high alpine views. Stunning scenery, good weather, moose, and friendly hikers keep us and Lobo very entertained. It was Lobo's second big hiking trip, but this time he had to carry his own weight and he got LOTS of compliments on his very stylish bag and sleeping pad! He enjoyed every minute of it!
After a great trip we headed over to Jackson and have been spending the past four days with Myles (BIG sailor boy), Pruett (drugstore coyboy) and his friend Jennifer. They have been wonderful hosts feeding us Elk burger, Elk steak, and Elk pasta dishes as we have been busy cleaning Tonto..bumpers, wheels, floors, carpets look so good. If Cinderella only had a wet-vac she would have been SO much happier...I am!! It was great to finally get to Jackson and get a great mtn bike ride in with Myles, just like old days. Talking about coming back when the ground is white...
Working our way north through Yellowstone, Glacier, Columbia Falls (got to check on the kayack at Dave's house) and then Calgary.
