Tourist for a Day

Mom was busy with Relief Society today

and I needed to catch Grandma and Grandpa

before they left on our trip, so I went to Jackson

and pretended I was a tourist for a day.

 One of the Moulton Barns on Mormon Row.

 Schwabacker's Landing

 I noticed that Grand Teton has implemented

 Obama's new budget deficit reducing plan.

Mount Moran at and in Oxbow Bend

 Fished for a few hours at Spaulding Bay.

Only thing biting were the cutthroats

and you can only keep one over twelve inches,

so after I ripped the lips off a few, I gave it up.

I'll go back in November when it's colder

and the Lake Trout are closer to the surface.

 Near Menor's Ferry.

I stopped at the country store

for a homemade gingersnap

baked in the woodstove,

and a bottle of Sarsaparilla.

 Old Elbow Ranch near Beaver Creek

On the way home, I was reminded why this creek

in Snake River Canyon is called Red Creek.
