Road Trip – day 4 (today)

Posted on July 21, 2018June 16, 2023 by kajenkins

So, I had my first lazy morning today. No specific plans today (the big scary hike is tomorrow). I slept in, lazed about with my coffee….And wrote 4 days of blog entries.

It is 10:30 and I’m still in my camp. Plan to eat breakfast soon, then go out exploring. The only “for sure” thing today is to rent a kayak and enjoy one of the lakes. Other than that….we will see what today brings…hopefully NOT a bear “encounter” 😓.

Later…about 6:30 pm

One note about camping alone in bear country…never leaving anything out and unattended means that if you have to pee real bad, you have to pack everything into the bear box just to go pee… and then get it all back out again when you get back. This is particularly difficult when you drink as much coffee as I do!

The rest of today was nice. I bought yet another pair of hiking boots for the hike tomorrow because what I brought with me won’t do. I did rent a kayak on Jenny lake and paddled around. I didn’t get much hiking in…by the time I got to trails it was later and not really anyone else going out. I refuse to be so stupid as to hike solo in Grizzly territory. So, I guess I will just have to see just how awful the hike tomorrow will feel.

Currently at Jackson Lake Lodge, historical landmark with wifi. Maybe have a drink out on the viewing deck, then head to camp before it gets dark.
