Jenny's very own lake

Today's view:

We drove from Idaho Falls to the Grand Tetons this morning following a terrible hotel breakfast. We miss juice and SKIM milk. We arrived at the Tetons and decided to have a picnic lunch before our hike so we would not attract any bears. We decided by the end of the day that this whole bear and "cool wildlife" thing is a sham at the tetons..we saw nothing more than a squirrel and a few chipmunks. The tetons are cool and very bumpy-scraggly looking. They are some of the youngest mountains in the world, which is why they are so rocky looking (less erosion). We went on a little hike around Jenny Lake, avoided bears, and generally had a good time.

After leaving the Tetons, we had a sneak peak of Yellowstone..we had to drive through part of the park to get to tonight's campsite. We are staying in West Yellowstone, Montana, which is kind of a big, fake, flashy tourist town. We were afraid of bears until we realized that we are situated between about 30 tents and about 150 RVs. We will not show you a picture of our campsite because it is not only lame, but sad. The gigantic family staying next to us grilled some delicious burgers/steaks/corn/carrots/etc, and the wind was blowing the delicious smoke right on to our tent. So we'll go ahead and forget that whole "Don't have your tent smell like food to not attract bears." Come on over, there are delicious people inside wrapped up in steak! Mmmm. With all of the people around, though, the odds of us getting eaten are slim.

Heading to Yellowstone tomorrow, which is about one mile from where we are laying our heads tonight.
