Day 144 - August 7, 2008

Today we got an early start and went on a 3 mile Ranger led hike around Swan Lake and Heron Lake. It was awesome in its beauty. Then we went to a Ranger Lecture about the Teton Highlights. It was pretty neat because the Ranger was seasonal and during the year she is a teacher in Jacksonville, FL. Then we went on a very nice boat trip around Jackson Lake. It was pretty amazing because the Cpt of the boat was born and raised in Lakeland and lived around Lake Morton. He was actually a bag boy at the Publix which is now the Polk Public Museum. He was a retired Army Reservist and was also called up for the Desert Storm. There were so many parallels that it was unreal.

Then we went back to the campground and stayed put as I was not feeling well.

Grand Teton Range as reflected in Heron Lake. Is this not an incredible sight?
