I was here in the Tetons for a Curriculum Conference back in 1989 and I recall calling Sharon saying, “I promise to come back here with you some day.” Well, 19 years later here we are…promise kept. (as a side note, I now believe I have at this point now fulfilled every “I’ promise to come back here with you.” except one—the Austrian Alps….I’m getting out of debt. [and, likewise Sharon has paid on all her promise-to-come-back-here-with-you vows except one—New Orleans.] Maybe we can get a plane to Austria that stops over in New Orleans some day!
Since we are worn out from backpacking, and since we are not up to a technical climb with ropes, we simply drove on every available road in the Tetons before leaving it headed North. What beautiful mountains! If I were younger I'd make a try on the Grand teton!

Those Tetons look a lot like the alps. I arrived in Grand Lake, CO a couple of hours ago for a week of day hikes and some R+R. This last week was a stressful one of writing NCAT documents.
Yeah Burt the Tetons rock (literally).
Enjoy Grand Lake... as you know I like that place too. We are headed north so maybe we'll check out Glacier NP for you while we're up here...
Did you go to Jenny Lake? It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It sits perfectly beside the Grant Tetons. Early in the morning the water is so motionless it looks like glass, I almost took off running across it. You should definitely check it out!
Jordan--you betcha! Loved the place!
