At Teton National Park




Sunday we took a drive to the Tetons where we saw the sights which included a boat trip across Jenny Lake and a hike to see Hidden Falls. From there we headed to Jackson Hole to have a late lunch. On the way back one of the places we stopped to see was Cunningham Cabin. A sod-roofed cabin built when he acquired the land thru the Homestead Act of 1862.
God has blessed the many hundreds of people in these parks with great weather this week and we happen to be among them. The temperature has been in the 80s during the day and dropping to the mid 40s at night.
Tomorrow we head to Mt. Rushmore by way of Cody, Wyoming and Hardin, Montana.

God is blessing you with awesome weather! On one occasion when we were there the clouds were so low and thick at Grand Teton that you couldn't see the Mountains across the lake.
Great talking to you last night. I looked at Google maps this morning and find that taking 14 instead of interstate only saves you 30 miles not 90 like I estimated. So with reduced speeds for towns and your overall travel speed considered, both routes will probably take about the same amount of time.
Glad you are able to see so much on your trip and enjoy God's awesome creation. Bob
