The Fourth

It was a beautiful Fourth of July weekend spent in Jackson, Wyoming and the surrounding areas. RVs slowed the traffic on one lane roads in and out of the National Parks and we took in the sites with no complaints.

Our great friends who live in Jackson were vacationing and they generously offered for us to housesit in exchange for watering their plants. Hiking around Jenny Lake in Teton National Park, watching fireworks against the backdrop of Teton Village in Jackson, and fishing the Henry's Fork in Last Chance, all in time to make it to Idaho Falls on Monday to watch the "most spectacular fireworks show west of the Mississippi".

Buck's friend Jeff from Maine has driven out West for the summer, bringing our friend count to double digits!

Sunset on the Henry's Fork made up for all the fish I missed/lined/spooked



I witnessed my first hatch of these insects, the Gray Drakes. Even though they were a good size, I didn't mind them covering my arms and back after seeing how much the fish enjoyed eating them (Bucky also informed me they don't have mouths, so they are incapable of biting me)
