I hope everyone had a good weekend! Almost everyone out here works in the service industry, so I don't even really keep up with the days of the week anymore. This week my weekend will be Wednesday and Thursday. When I worked at Ben Silver in Charleston, it was a little bit harder because most of my friends worked a typical Monday-Friday schedule, so when I had to work a Saturday, I felt like I was really missing out! Here, you can pretty much find people doing something fun every day of the week. Sometimes it's harder to find something to do on a Friday night than it is on a random weeknight! Last week, I had Thursday and Friday off, and William had Friday off as well. He suggested hiking Goodwin Lake, a dog-friendly trail in the Gros Ventre Wilderness (part of Bridger Teton National Forest, on the other side of the valley from Grand Teton National Park.)

Look at that! MORE snow! Everything was fine for the first 2-2.5 miles or so, and then there were some massive snowbanks. Well, massive for June. (The one pictured above was one of the first we saw... and probably also the smallest!) I have to admit, I really was not ready to hike through a bunch of snow. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but it is HARD to hike through snow in regular hiking shoes, especially when it's nasty, old, hard snow. I may or may not have acted a little too dramatic about the whole thing.
