After 4 months working as camphosts, it feels good to be tourists again. Leaving Huntsville, UT we headed north on what we hoped was going to be a scenic trip and we weren\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n

Shortly after entering Wyoming and before reaching the Grand Teton National Park we saw signs of fall. Beautiful red, yellow and orange colored trees dotted (and I do mean \u201cdotted\u201d) the hillsides along the highway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Soon we entered the Tetons and found a scenic pull-off to have our lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Teton mountains were beautiful and we learned a little something about the glaciers; they are shrinking. Shrinking Glaciers???!!!??? My goodness, Al Gore was right!!! Global warming IS effecting the glaciers and polar ice caps! (** wink wink **)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, front and center you can see the Teton Glacier. Hmm\u2026I thought it would look different some how. Maybe bigger? (ha ha ha ha)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyhow. Our adventure didn\u2019t really start until we got into Yellowstone and to Grant Village Campground and got a look at our campsite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Talk about a tight squeeze.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our neighbors, Bob and Janet, were very impressed with our coordination, hand signals and patience getting the coach positioned between the trees just so; managing to get  all 3 slides out AND be able to open our front door.<\/p>\n

Whew! I hope the rest of our \u201ctouristing\u201d isn\u2019t as challenging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
