Today was our last day in the Tetons, and marked the beginning of the end of our trip. Once we headed east, we were only planning a short stop in South Dakota at Badlands NP and the Black Hills on the way back to Indy. Though it was a bummer thinking of heading home, we also were getting the inevitable itch that comes toward the end of any adventure-you're just ready to be at home.
But we had a few more days in paradise and we didn't want them to go to waste. Colter Bay was a really cool campground. It was well laid out, and most importantly it sits on the shore of Jackson Lake with great views of the Tetons. I spent the afternoon by the lake, Kari joined me late afternoon. We timed the sunset perfectly, and I miraculously scoped an eagle with my binoculars while watching a couple kayakers-he flew right into my view and I tracked him with a big ole fish in his mouth. Pretty cool.
I even witnessed a wedding:
On another note, we've seen all sorts of camping rigs the last few months. Colter Bay had a particularly diverse assortment, and almost all were really nice. I suspect this area is kind of the Mecca for RV nerds. Below is a wacky one that was made by Blue Bird, the school bus company. I guess they're all fully custom and quite desirable. But we still love Shirley the most. She's been good to us the entire trip.
I lingered a few extra moments in the evening to drink in the views and vibes. We did some packing and hit the sack.
