Howdy! After 1007 miles of driving on 1.5 hours of sleep, I arrived at Grand Teton around 6:30am Mountain Time. I did some early morning photography with peaks of sunshine, much to my surprise, from Signal Mountain. I then headed into Yellowstone and photographed Moose Falls, Old Faithful, and Gibbons Falls on my way to Mammoth to meet up with Jay. I arrived in Mammoth around 1:30pm or so, to strong thunderstorms, believe it or not. The temperature dropped from 57 to 46°F from that storm, with close CGs! Anyway, these storms provided some snow atop 9500 foot peaks west of Mammoth, which was fairly pretty. Also, I ran into some snowy ground driving through the 9500 foot pass very early this morning on my approach to Teton. Tomorrow’s plan is highly dependant on the weather, and I may linger close to Mammoth if it’s fairly bleak outside.
