chainsaw will protect my claw-foot tub while i'm gone. good boy.
morning in the idaho panhandle
montana

there not kidding around about this exit!

the only thing pretty about idaho falls is the train graffiti.
whew! finally got here!

so many flowers! only took the one picture.
let's take a ride on the park ranger search and rescue patrol boat!
that's jim (he's serious about sun protection) the ranger with a badass boat at his command.
Moran! lovely, beautiful, glorious, magical, awesome, Moran!

ok, this is my dad literally taking a picture with my camera BACKWARDS (and on accident!)! i love my dad!
when he finally got my camera turned around...
MORAN!!
MORAN!

MORAN! from this side you can see how it's only fat and sassy from the front, here you can see the jutting shelves of rock that were literally thrown into the air in something that must have truly been the apocolypse for any life present.
apparently, this is an expensive boat (like 350k)

mary! don't you want to come boating here? i think you would love it!

time for hiking! nothing too hard, about 10miles with only 700ft of elevation change, took us about 3hrs to get back (including picture time and snack time on the top).
hey, found taggart lake!
ta-dah! everyone marvel at my outdoorseyness! ;)
my rugged (and 69yr old) dad!

looking back on taggart
yay, group pic!
the view over bradley lake
hey, it's tiny little me, admiring the glory and expanse of nature
