As we always say, one of the best things about RVing is the
great folks we meet who become our good friends. It’s great to see them once or several times
a year on the road. It’s like going back
to college in the fall. The Gros Ventre
social season is in full swing. Tonight
we have Linda and John from CO, closest to the camera, and Mike and Mary Jo,
from IL, joining us for dinner. Scott
has really enjoyed fishing with Mike these last couple of days. Yes, we find time for that too. Ally thinks Mary Jo is the coolest of
Grandmas because she likes to play games and that is something this Grandma
doesn’t do very often. Ally has been
spending her spare time with Mary Jo.
Linda is about to become my new hiking partner. She’s going to go with us tomorrow when we
hike to Taggart Lake. We’ll start her
and Scott off easy with only a five mile or so hike. John and Ron love to talk tech. Mike and Mary Jo will soon head off to spend
August north of Yellowstone on the Yellowstone River. Linda and John will be staying here for a
while. We love having our friends
around. I think Scott is relieved to
know we’re not hanging out with trailer trash...well, actually we are...they’re
just like us! He’s thinking we have a
pretty nice collection of friends. We
do. There are some really neat folks who
love this lifestyle. There is a gal
working here at the campground whose husband works across the highway at one of
the golf clubs here. They have a stick
house on the 1st tee box of the golf course in a very fine CO
mountain community. Our daughter lives
there also. They had a motorhome that
they weren’t using too often. A family
member became ill and they went to help out and took their motorhome in which
to live while there. They liked it so
much they rented the stick house and now live full time in the motorhome. They
love being busy and love RVing. It’s an
addictive lifestyle. We know the feeling
well.
We’re off to Bradley Lake, Taggart Lake, and the Beaver Creek
trail. Scott and Ally are leading the
way. It’s a beautiful morning.
Another thing I always say is that Ally sees all the small
things I don’t normally see. I have my
eyes on the trail. She manages to see
everything. She has just found this
amazing spider web hanging above the trail.
And we think we’re so uniquely intelligent. I’m not so sure. Do the math on this one.
We reached Taggart Lake and the storm clouds are
brewing. We never know whether things
will clear or whether it will get worse.
We’ll take a few shots while we can.

born hikers.
Family portrait. Am I
shrinking?
Looks like our lifestyle agrees with Scott. Ally likes that. She’s hoping one day her Mom will come play
with her in her summer home.
Hmmm, things are cookin’ up there. The Grand Teton always attracts the
lightning. That’s good for us.
The Grand is framed by these beautiful tree trunks.
I see a patch of blue up there.
It looks like things will clear for our hike down through
Beaver Creek.
