Portal Creek Trail

John fished some more this morning while I just goofed off. We have decided to stay one more night at this location because we like it so well. The folks camping around us are really friendly and have some fun tales to tell or seem to enjoy hearing our tales. We might join one family that left today in Teton National Park.

This afternoon we looked for a place to hike. We drove up a gravel road called Portal Creek Trail that promised a hiking trailhead but we didn't know how far we would have to drive. After 4 miles, we parked the Jeep and started walking up the road. It was a pretty walk, very quiet and peaceful except that I had to talk every once in a while to scare away any bears that might be lurking about. Saying things like "Yo Bear, heh Bear, go away, Bear!" Of course, we never saw one. After two miles we actually came to a trailhead that promised a 2.5 mile hike to Hidden Lake but by that time we were tired and ready to go back down so we'll save that one for another time.

John actually caught a fish this evening (don't ask how big/small!) while I visited with some new neighbors. It is so nice here!
