slept in a bed last night:)

I love you mom!!!!

After pizza we drove around in the dark looking for a place to camp...nothing inside the park was open, but we found a nice spot called Gross Ventre just outside of grand Teton park. set up tent, passed out...woke up at sunrise to a MOOSE IN OUR TENT! well, they weren't in our tent, but they were in the campsite, Johnny took some great picks...


Packed up, went into Jackson to restock on food, make a few calls, and blog, spent three hours in the most comfortable little coffee shop...

Drove north to Yellowstone...watched the back country camping saftey video, then hiked about 3 miles into the woods. great spot, but the bugs were terrible...finally, we got to have a FIRE!










woke up and cooked some gorme poptarts on the fire, saw a lone Bison chillin in a field, eating grass, then hiked out to the car. drove around looking for animals, found another bison crossing this bridge, atleast he was in the right lane...Johnny brewed up some great soup for lunch while we considered our options. We planned on spending another night in yellowstone, Eric was all like, "bag that" and johnny said, "where are the bears?" and I kept saying, "what top knot?"


SO, we decided to head to Boseman for the night...food was way expensive so we went to Arby's for dinner, Primo Delux Arby's, solor panals on the roof, free Wifi, big comfoy round both... drove around the national forest until we found a place to rest our heads, at the end of this gravel road...


Now, we are in Seattle, I know, how did we get here so fast? we dicided to expedite this trip, hit the big mountains, skip Glacier, and finish a little bit early. Drove from Boseman to Seattle yesterday, stopping in Missoula for a cool little art fair, watched the finish of a little 5k road race, gave some change to some hippies, continued on.




BURNNING RV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we really should have taken a picture of this, but didn't, it took us about 12 hours (should have taken only 7 or 8) to get to seattle because of a burnning RV in the middle of the highway just out side of seattle, sat in traffic for about 3 hours...but it was well worth the wait.


we are currently Staying with Eric's aunt and uncle, incredibly nice people, Aunt Margaret cooked us up a feast! beef with vegies, samon with salsa, sweet corn, fruit salad, corn bread, pule banana bread and brownies...too good to describe. Plan is to stay here one more night, and climb Ranier starting Tuesday morning...hopefully off the mountain by thursday evening.
