Today was a sightseeing day in the Grand Teton National Park.  We started at the Craig Thomas Visitor Center and proceeded north stopping at every overlook all the way to the North Jackosn Lake overlook and returned south by way of the Jenny Lake Teton Park Road.  Together we took 210 pictures.  Needless to say we have the Tetons from every angle we could, traveling on the east side of the Teton range.  By the end of the day we have traveled 11, 418 miles since leaving Bright, Indiana on Sunday, June 17, 2012 and tomorrow we are traveling west again before heading south and then east.  We have been to 18 National Parks, 8 National Monuments, 5 National Historic Sites, 2 Presidential Libraries and 1 National Tall Grass Prairie and are having a wonderful time seeing these beautiful and amazing sites.
