Off Grid!

Our last three days have been fully off-grid as we explored the great parks of Wyoming and the mountains of Montana.  We reemerged into cell service this morning.  It's almost hard to explain how awesome these few days were for our family.  We resorted back to paper maps, no texting, no iPads, no work and lots of outdoor time exploring the glorious outdoors.

Our trip into Wyoming was gorgeous, filled with rolling hills, big sky and lots of cattle.  It was a full travel day, and we finished a family audio book.  We stopped to climb some cool rocks mid-way and arrived at the Grand Teton's that evening. 

The Teton's were gorgeous, which is a complete understatement but the best word I can come up with.  We took a beautiful morning rafting ride down the Snake River, and hiked to waterfalls at Jenny Lake.  The lakes with the huge Teton range as the backdrop was stunning from all angles in this huge park.  It was a spectacular day.  (I should mention that we have had great luck with the weather--- so keep saying good wishes to the Sun Gods for us!)  Mid-day we stopped for a massive pile of nachos, a family favorite, to keep us fueled up.  We were finally able to have a campfire, since much of mid-west was on fire restrictions or our days had been too action packed.   

The next day we totally mastered Yellowstone! More to come on that....
