I continued my tour of the Tetons and took a detour down the "Jackson Spur." I decided not to go all the way to Jackson because a 80 mile detour adds up on a bike. I am camping at Jenny Lake which is quite the tourist spot. Hot and crowded is the best way to describe it. The camping spot I have is pretty cool though, with the Tetons right behind me. I went a little further down to Moose, WY and had dinner. It is also where I found some internet access. I think this porch has the best view yet. I am going to try and hike up to a waterfall tomorrow moring and hopefully miss the crowds and heat. It was only about 20 miles to Jenny Lake from Colter Bay. When I got there I really wanted to take a nap, but that is also pretty much impossible when you are camping. Too hot, and too many bugs for that to work. But I'm not complaining because I have these awesome mountains right behind me.
The Teton pictures make us all jealous of you being able to soak all of this in. We hear that the rest of Wyoming is scenic too, even though it is not as developed. Keep sharing!

Great trip. I hope you make it all the way! I lack the ambition to attempt something like that. The closest I've tried is watching Globetrecker in my boxer shorts. Those pictures are amazing!
