This morning was like a wonderland. Early morning light on the lake makes the photos look unreal. We rode 8 miles to Moose, WY. It was by far the best 8 miles for scenery that we have ridden. I got all my questions answered about how Jenny Lake and the Tetons were formed and how they got their names at the Interpretive Center. The Tetons were named after French-Canadian trappers who called the three tall mountian tops "Trois Tretons". This mean three breasts. Hard to believe where we get names from! Jenny was the daughter of an early explorer. After some breakfast bagels we headed up to Coulter Bay. Angie and Bill had already headed to Grant Village as they did not go to Jenny Lake. We entered Yellowstone where the Ranger told us Lewis Lake was open now for biker/hikers. We thought we could make it all the way to Grant Village. The climb was over 2000' and I was struggling with the altitude again. We ended up at Lewis Lake where the camp hosts, B and Mike told us that the site was not open. We explained the info we had gotten and they were very nice. They let us camp for free and they gave us food and let us use their power charger. If only they could have gotten rid of the mosquitos. We were fine in our tents.
