Last Grand Teton Email for 2014

Hi All,

As many of you have already heard, Sandy's Mom's 94 year old heart is giving out. Sandy will fly to Boston tomorrow and Carl and Ginger will drive east in the motorhome. Sooo, this is our last email from Grand Teton this year.

Earlier today, before we got the news about Mom, we went to inspect the latest "Wildlife Closure" in the park. Lakeview Picnic area is closed due to Toads!

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of these one inch long Boreal Toads have hatched out from the lake and are moving through the picnic area looking for a place to hibernate for the winter. If they are successful, they will grow into four inch long adults like this.


This is the view from the picnic area. They did pick a beautiful place to hatch out.
We'll keep you all posted about Mom.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
