Hi All,
Our four work days this week were full of bears, moose and more. The bear and cub returned to the picnic area and we followed her as she checked out all the spots where people might leave food. One of the other wildlife brigadiers said she was "cooler shopping". She finally swam across the lake with her cub.
Later as we patrolled Jenny Lake campground we didn't find bear but we did find this young mule deer.
Sandy found a great surprise for dinner. Live lobster are $16 a pound here. They cook some and freeze them for about the same price. However, the day we were shopping, they must have made too many. The lobsters were. " buy one-get two free!". So, for $16 we got three. They were good, not great but we are in Wyoming not Maine.
After a long day patrolling, we returned to find this bill moose near our motorhome.
Today we headed out for a hike and found grizzly 399 on a hillside near the campground. Very exciting but 3/4 of a mile away.
Further up the road we stopped to soak in the mountain view.
On to Jenny Lake where we took the shuttle boat across the lake to hike to Hidden Falls and beyond.
Here's the cascade below the falls.
When we came back across the lake we found the bear and her cub swimming across the lake and followed her onto the campground. All the food was well stored and the bears did not find anything to eat so they headed north.
It had been a long day so we eagerly returned to the campground for a relaxing evening. However, our moose friend had other ideas and we spent an hour following him through the campground, keeping people from getting too close.
What a life!
Love,
Sandy & Carl
