Luna is learning her swim strokes.....they seem to come naturally.  She usually swims twice a day, and is getting in shape for the summer olympics.
While Darrell went fishing this morning, I tried to vacuum....with Luna's help, of course.

LES MASON, WHITEFISH LAKE, AND TWO DOGS

We made it to Les Mason safe and sound.  We kind of hit the ground running; with the weather being nice, we worked on Amber's yard, and tried to get housekeeping set up.  Luna has met her cousin, Bella.  Now that we have high speed internet, I'll be able to post pictures more easily.
I would guess the temp of the lake water to be about 50 degrees....both dogs are swimming out to fetch sticks, it seems it's in their DNA! More pictures to follow. :)

OOPS......

So, we took this pleasant shortcut around Salt Lake City, picked up the road up to Jackson and the Grand Tetons, thinking we would zip through Yellowstone and enjoy the scenery on the way....Nay nay!
The south road into Yellowstone doesn't open til May 11, due to snow pack.  We should have known this, Amber always told us they sometimes don't open til late May.  Goes to show you what aging does to a mind.  But we had fun, anyway!
 Rather than go through the construction all the way through Salt Lake City, we took an alternate route up and around, and camped near Park City.  This state campground is on Jordanelle Reservoir, and is beautiful!  Practically every campsite has a view of the lake, and it has laundry facilities and showers.


We took a quick drive to Park City, former Olympic ski resort.  It did not disappoint, with its many shops and eateries.  We would say it rivals Aspen.

Darrell is contemplating the cut that he wants for dinner.  We were hungry travelers today after a day at the Canyon, so we splurged on a steak dinner.  We were not disappointed!

The Grand Canyon revisited


Looking down from the Bright Angel trailhead, we reminisce about the hike we did 6 years ago to Indian Gardens, the green area.  So, this would be halfway to the bottom of the canyon.  Rim to Rim?  I think not, this time around.
