| String Lake, Grand Teton |
Happy Memorial Day! We're fine. We've gotten our schedule at the hatchery worked out and been out into the park on a couple of days we had off. Jackson is busy. Internet has definitely slowed down over the weekend. The hatchery now has only two, fulltime staff (should be 3 fulltime plus 1 seasonal) so extra volunteers are here helping out with picking eggs and cleaning tanks & raceways.
Our first trip into Grand Teton was an acclimation walk along String & Leigh Lake up to Campsite 13 and back to the southern bridge on the String Lake Trail. Started out quietly with few people as it was chilly and clouded. On our return from Campsite 13, clouds broke and it became warmer. Soon kayakers & boarders were out in abundance.
Our second hike was earlier today as we drove up to Blacktail Butte. Blacktail Butte looks out of place as it sets somewhat in the middle of the "Hole" adjacent to Mormon Row and consists of nothing more than glacial till. The trail is an out & back trail up to the summit. You can continue further, but we don't know where it comes out at. News to me: I wasn't aware that Blacktail Butte was know for rock climbing, and there were folks climbing. We never saw them, but you could hear them.

That gets you up to date with us. We're here until September - at least that's the plan. More pictures follow. Have a great Memorial Day! David
