On our 26th Summer road trip a first; we experienced a snow storm in the Tetons. It began on the mountain pass between DuBois and the park with the temperature dropping another twenty degrees followed by a wispy snow that failed to accumulate. And then a little sunshine while we set up our tent before a new snow chased us into the tent (but not before we had a quick sit by the fire, our cocktails diluted by the snow).

Another first was having dinner with a former intern and her fiance at a small pizzeria in the Tetons. Rose and Connor are both pretty great (and by that I mean they laughed at most of my jokes). It is their first time in the park and through them Corey and I relived just a little bit of the excitement of being here for the first time.
