Photo Journal 5- Utah and The Grand Tetons
We stayed in East Canyon, Utah, at a very nice camp ground and we were hungry when we arrived late after our driving. We heard that a restaurant was available around the lake so Katie took Amber for a swim and Phil, Galen and I drove to the resort place but it was sunday and had closed early. An old man sat in front of the door and told us it was closed and that the nearest town for food would be about 40 miles away. After driving all those winding hills and setting up camp, we didn't want to budge, but were un prepared. He asked, "What kind of food do you want?" Well, we didn't know how to answer, I guess it was just any store for some food. He told us that there were 'lots of rolls that will go to waste if not eaten' at his condo where his family stayed nearby. He got up with his cane and insisted we follow and for some reason we did. He led us to his place where his family sat around a table, his wife in a tie dye apron got up and started going through the refrigerator, we were so uncomfortable. I told her that we didn't intend to take anything from her kitchen, but she said that they had a huge family reunion that day and had too much food! So she and her son and husband gave us tons of ham, noodle salad, rolls, water, organic carrot baggies, cookies and grapes. They were Mormons who lived just outside of Salt Lake City. It was a picnic dinner we had by our fire, from these awesome, kind, folks!
As we were leaving we saw all these lost sheep on the side of the road with their sheep work dogs nearby.
Onward to Idaho to stay at the Teton Cabins, just outside of the National Park in Wyoming!
This is Lake Jenny and we waded, had a picnic and went boating . . .

Day 15 and tomorrow we head across Idaho to Oregon . . . our final stretch!
