Day 15 Idaho Falls, ID to Jackson Hole, WY  July 2

Today was a great day!!!   Climbed a steeper ascent than ever before, 10% for 3 miles.  My sister Sandy and her friend Patty stayed for a second day and saw the mountains we climbed.  Yes, REAL mountains.  We climbed to Pine Creek Summit at 6,764 ft.  descended to 5,820 ft then climbed to Teton Pass Summit at 8,431ft. then down to 6,123 ft.  Tomorrow we climb to 9,658 ft. Togwotee Pass.
I have a number of pictures from the climbs and overlooks in the mountains.  Sandy and Patty took some pictures alsoSorting them and posting will have to wait a day or two.  We were up at 4:30 this morning and in 90deg. heat much of the day.  It is now past my bed time.
Wake up is 5:30.
I will get pictures and more posted as soon as I can.
Stay safe.
Sam

  4. Hi Sam,

    Happy belated borthday from Mary's cohorts in compliance! Glad to see that you made it to the top of the Conntinental divide today. I suspect our subcontinental divide running through Waukesha pales in comparison to what you scaled. Keep up the good work! Stay well!!!
