Today is little Ian’s 4th birthday and I wasn’t able to be there 🙁. I did get to call him, but that’s not the same. So I am going to take a moment away from the normal blog content to say Happy Birthday Ian!!! Oshi loves and misses you!
Today was a slight detour from our originally planned route. We rode 42 miles and made absolutely zero forward progress. But we didn’t just cycle, we did a triathlon. We biked, hiked, and took a boat ride across Jenny Lake.
Today was all about sightseeing and enjoying The Grand Tetons. We stopped first thing this morning at Jackson Lodge for breakfast and to see the spectacular views of the entire Teton Range. To quote Mrs G, “Wow” I couldn’t imagine seeing anything more spectacular. But things just seemed to get better the closer we got to Jenny Lake and then as we boated across the lake. The hike presented more great views and a waterfall. Forgot to mention that we did see a moose today.Of course no barns today and I didn’t get a picture of the sign of the day because for once I was compliant. The sign said “No Stopping Anytime”. So like Forest Gump…we’re just gonna keeping going.
Tomorrow we’re on to Dubois, WY. after a big climb to 9,658 feet of elevation. I know you Colorado folks are snickering, but it is a solid 2,700 foot climb. And don’t worry, we’ll be climbing in Colorado soon enough.
Night All
Ian
