Trip Summary

Mindy and I had originally planned to go camping in the Tetons with her cousin, Tom and his wife, Patricia, but they backed out of the trip at the last minute, unfortunately. Nonetheless, I had planned what I thought was quite a dynamic trip, so we went on our own. The weather was perfect (70s and clear each day), and we had a fun time hiking, camping, floating (the Snake River) and photographing in the Tetons.
