42 years of bliss.

August, 1967. Good year for Mustangs
too. I cropped this when I scanned it from the slide. I've got to go back to the slide and scan in the original with the Tetons in the background.

42 years later. Same place. Notice we were on the top rail back then.

Devil's Stairs, South Teton Creek Canyon

We figure this is Devils Stairs. They were rocks to get to the final part of the hike.

The boys. Brandon, Nate, Dustin

(Tom's brother in law) and Tom.

Add Sue. See Table Rock in background. We were going there. But to limits of time (BYU football and weddings) we went to Devil's Stairs. I about died on this hike. I will have to really train to go to Table Rock. Losing my aerobic skills. Fine on flat trails, but a little slope kills me.

Only time Nate was carried. The boys were great hikers. Brandon led most of the way. He was the first one back to the car. With his mom 1/2 mile behind.

Nate kept right up.

Notice who is in lead. Brandon, Tom, Dustin, Sue, Nate. Somebody had to take the picture. I was resting every few minutes.

Sue wanted a tough guy pose. Brandon is just too nice. At least he wasn't making a face.

This was at the first of the hike. We went up part of the way of that mountain in the background.

Lewis Lake, 3 Tetons, Devil's Stairs

Wednesday, we took Aunt LaRee to Jackson to meet Uncle Doug. We all crowded in the pickup because we had the 5th wheel too. Mom and I went on to Lewis Lake just inside Yellowstone. I planned on fishing, but after talking with the campground host and the lake being cold, I decided that reading a book by the campfire would be just as

fufilling.

Dont you just love my new Nikon SLR? Mormon Row in GTNP.

I did not know there was a natural bridge in YNP. It is by West Thumb-Bridgebay.

We saw this Moose at Moose Junction in GTNP. It stayed in this pose for about 2 hours before we got there. I think it is stuffed for the tourists.

42 years later. Same place plus a few pounds for Dad, less a few rollers for Mom.

She loves her picture taken.

West Thumb Geyser Basin. I have never been here before. Always drive on by. Mom has been with her family.
