Everyone had their cameras going at first light. Mostly mountains and the lake but one of our group decided to take some 7AM shots of Bernanke and friends on a pre-breakfast walking meeting. He followed with camera and right behind was a physically fit 40 year old in a dark suit and earbud. We all laughed a little and the parade broke up.

Snake River Rafting
The Snake River, at least in this part of Wyoming, is moderate sized and moves quickly with no white water rapids that we had to contend with. In the park it is only open to rafters – nothing with a motor. This raft trip was just right for our group. There were about 10 to each raft with a guide who used a big pair of oars to make sure we got where we wanted to go.

Eagles
The weather was perfect at the end of August – no bugs, 60 to 70 degrees and lots of sunshine. This is a big eagle nesting area and we saw some every half mile or so, along with assorted hawks and other close relatives. The “grown ups” were generally sitting well above the water at the top of apine tree looking for lunch in the river. The youngsters were practicing recent flying lessons and making a little more of a fuss.
