July 2009 Road Trip
2009 July 27
I’ve been back from my trip for three days, but I’m adjusting slowly from sun, dirt, and thunderstorms back to computer screens, dishwashers, and construction noise, so I will post in tabular form:
| Highest elevation (humans) | Medicine Bow Peak, 12,013ft |
| Highest elevation (car) | Snowy Range Pass, 10,847ft |
| Best Wildlife Sighting | Pine Marten at Grand Teton |
| Worst Wildlife Sighting | Wasp in my pants at Grand Teton |
| Hot springs | Hobo Pool in Saratoga, Look but don’t touch pools in Thermopolis and Yellowstone |
| Hot tubs | Super 8 Motel in Driggs, ID |
| Things found/won in raffle/bought for cheap | organic cotton hoodie, bail biner on the Durrance Route of Devils Tower (immediately used to bail on Fee Demo Wall upon returning home), barely used red chili shoes for $20 from DMM rep |
| Things ruined | pair of pants, “shockproof” digital camera, hydration bladder, sleeping bag stuff sack |
