The week of the 24th

Instead of being home for the holiday Cindy and I went to Jackson for the first part of the week. We got to our campground on the Hoback River and this time we got the prize campsite next to the river. Cindy has always wanted to get his spot, site # 2 but it is always occupied; but not this time. It was so good to sit by the river and read during the day.

The first evening we went to the Bar J to eat and watch the show. We always enjoy the food and music and this performance was really good and funny.

The next day we went to the Tetons and took the boat across Jenny Lake. We hiked to Hidden Falls and then up the steep trail to Inspiration Point.

 We had lunch there. A Marmot sat by us to see if he could get any food. No such luck.

We then continued hiking into Cascade Canyon. It was a marvelous sight. You could see where avalanches had taken out stands of trees and where rock falls over the centuries had created interesting formations along the canyon. While storm clouds gathered they did not rain where we were at but when we got back to camp the awning to the tent trailers was filled with water and was sagging. We had dinner and played games. The rain had cooled things off and the night was cold.

The next morning the campground was was foggy and cool. The scenery was eerie with the fog.
















The wild flowers in the camp ground were pretty.

 I sat huddled under a blanket and read while I also watched the fog burn off.

 We went into Jackson and bought candy and some souvenirs and then in the afternoon went over Teton Pass into Idaho.

  I forgot how steep that pass was and we never made it over 25 miles per hour going up the pass.
Once on the Idaho side we drove through Victor and Driggs and saw the west side of the Tetons.

We continued on through the rolling farm lands which were really pretty and then made it to Rexburg for the rest of the week. We met up with Cindy's sisters Tammy and Nancy. We had dinner that night at Applebee's and then the next three days went to Education Week together. Cindy and I always enjoy the spirit there and the things we are able to learn.  This was the first time we stayed by campus and the room we had was less than desirable but it was close.

 We enjoyed the time there and the beautiful gardens in the middle of campus you walk through going to the different classes and seeing the temple on the hill. It was a very enjoyable week.
