Happy Father's Day!

Egg Incubator

Just an update from us.  We're hanging out & doing fine. Fish eggs have arrived (about 330,000) & the hatchery is busy.  There's a total of 12 volunteers working here this summer, and they're all busy.  Two new TVs were added inside the hatchery. One TV runs a video dedicated to the Dace (looks like a minnow). The other TV runs a video showing manual spawning at the Auburn Wyoming Fish Hatchery followed by a video showing the release of the cutthroat. Additional traffic exterior signs were added to assist in visitor parking (and they seem to be working).

Visitation seems to be up as well.  Schools are beginning to bring their students out to the hatchery for a field day.  Donna & I managed to get the 180 student tour last week.  It's a great group of kids, but Donna & I were beat when that day was done!

Jackson not as busy as it could be for this time of year.  No long lines of vehicles trying to get into town, yet. Eating out continues to be expensive.  We're staying out of the parks, so not a lot of pictures.  We plan to get out and walk trails from other areas near here.  Just haven't done that so far.

Snow about gone off the Gros Ventre range.  Only a spot or two of snow remains on Snow King Mountain. We keep getting rain - mainly thunderstorms in the afternoon.  It's cool enough that snow remains (and sometimes gets added) at the higher elevations of the Tetons.  It still looks like the range is sugar coated when we walk from the hatchery up to the south entrance sign.

That's about it from here. Sorry the update isn't a lot more interesting.  Thanks for stopping by, though. Enjoy the long weekend.  Until next time, David
