Another beautiful day in the Tetons. We have been really lucky with all the good weather we have had so far. Today was high of 72 and as the weather channel says, "plentiful sunshine". We rented a little put put boat and toured the lake's many coves and islands with the Tetons as the backdrop. We got some great pictures, however there has been a controlled fire going on the last few days and the smoke really ruins a clear picture of Grand Teton. But, all for a good reason.
We even helped rescue a japanese couple who ran aground. Not sure exactly how they knocked their motor off, but they sure weren't going anywhere. When you rent a boat they give you a radio and evidently, they couldn't get that to work either. We called their position in and got a confirmation of a pending rescue (dad stammerjohn would be proud!).
Skip grilled hamburgers on the grill and we had kay's left over beans. Nothing smells better at a campsite!
Tomorrow we signed up for a guided raft trip down the snake river. I guess Skip is going to have to wake up before 7am...that ought to be a shock to his system! The ad promises loads of wildlife viewing. It should be beautiful nonetheless. Then on to Yellowstone...
