Day 10 – Hanging around the Tetons
I awoke this morning to a chilling 37 degrees, Sleeping in my car at the Gros Ventre campground for about 4 hours, it was too cold to sleep with just a blanket and the sleeping bag was under a bunch of other stuff and not worth the hassle for another hour of sleep. After putting…
