AMPHITHEATER LAKE HIKE IN THE TETONS



 A bad start, the generator would not start at all despite having a new correct size plug in yesterday and running fine last night.
Bless him, Roy tried everything, we decided that if it failed when we got back from our hike we would probably buy a cheap one as it would be worthwhile considering the price you pay on a private site to that on a basic site with generator. It was a frosty night so we think genny only likes warm weather.

We drove to the trail-head and hiked up and up for 5 miles and 3000 feet to the pretty Surprise Lake and Amphitheater Lake, sun came out and it was warm. Took us 3 hours to get up there and 2 hours to get down. A great hike! And the generator started when we got back! So I suggested we wrap her up for the night and see if she will start in the morning.

Guess what? Our lovely old generator started this morning – Roy says it was not because of my idea to keep her warm but because the weather was not so cold! Guess again? - oh yes, not just one mouse this time but two!

Our last day at Gros Ventre campground as it closes for the season but because I would like to do another trail we are moving 10 miles up the road for 2 nights to a campsite at the side of Lower Slide Lake which is still open but they have turned the water off so they don't charge – Roy's favourite price!

We had a lovely loop walk along Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls then into Jackson Hole for great burgers at Liberty.
