heat!

the weather channel is saying 101 for tomorrow...and that is BEFORE the humidity!! lots of inside time tomorrow & the coming days! this might end up being a LONG summer if the heat is starting now...


back to tetons/yellowstone reporting...

* we left on saturday -- drove about 24 hours & arrived on sunday...
* monday was our first hike, in the rain, and our group did a little over 4.5 miles...and all at 6000+ feet in elevation
* tuesday our group did bird banding in the morning (so cool!) and then hiked...i am guessing 3-4 miles...again at 6000+ elevation
* wednesday our group did our challenge hike -- 5.6 miles!! we hiked the granite canyon area of tetons national park...we climbed a huge rock & marveled at everything
* thursday we headed to yellowstone & saw a momma elk & her baby
* friday we explored the area around old faithful & the norris hot springs area
* saturday was the "grand canyon" of yellowstone & then starting home...arrived home on sunday...

it has been a little over a week since i arrived home & i am recovered now...it was an awesome time & i will share more if you want me to...

toodles!
