Colter Bay Campground, Grand Teton National Park

Good day today. Very cold in the morning. We stopped at lots of geysers along the way. Jack and I found a bike trail through trees for two miles to Old Faithful. Found a herd of elk all to ourselves. Saw Old Faithful again. The elk herd was strolling across six lanes of traffic at the Old Faithful interchange, creating a huge traffic jam. We decided to hurry since we had 50 miles to go. We crossed the Divide three times in as many hours. Made it to Colter Bay in Grand Tetons National Park, but I've never been so tired. A nice couple shared their site with us.
I experienced my second throwing incident on one
of the long climbs up one of those passes. Someone in a passing RV threw a
bucket of water at me, as I recall. Other than the shock, I really didn’t mind
that much, since it was a hot climb.
