June 13th Update

They always walk away when I point a camera.

Our 200,000 fish eggs have become sack fry quickly and will soon need to be fed.  The year old ones are growing, and the hatchery is bringing on additional tanks to handle them.  Visitation has gotten steady quickly.  This must be family week.  Families are out in force.  We're getting large families, too.  12-15 people at a time and traveling in multiple vehicles.

We've gotten out some, but it's been a week where we worked around the trailer.  We managed to walk down to the Wildlife Museum for lunch one day.  And while waiting on a leaky tire to be repaired (always the passenger-side, rear inner dual tire, too...3 times in the last 46,000 miles), we walked to one of the trail heads for the Bridger-Teton Nat'l Forest.

We walked by a young moose on the way back. They always walk away when I try to take a picture, though.

We also got out to Grand Teton, too.  We took a short walk from the Moose Visitor Center to Murie's Ranch.  The walk there and back was spectacular.  Kinda hard to get good pictures of the buildings as they're in amongst the trees, though.

So that's been our week.  We're doing well & staying busy while watching the snow on the mountains melt.  The highway near the hatchery is being "repaved".  What they're really doing is repairing cracks and weak sections in the road, then pouring oil and gravel over the sections they've repaired.  After that they put up a sign warning you of loose gravel, put another sign telling you not to pass, then turn traffic loose.  Just like Alabama.

Anyway, thanks for dropping by.  Until next week, David
