When he found out that we work at the marina, he asked if I wanted to participate in the narration... well, I am trying to come out of my shell. I added some "color" regarding the legend of John Colter, some information about Mt. Moran, and told about our meal cruises to Elk Island. Steve called each of the passengers by name throughout the trip and made it feel like a very personal excursion.
The float trip is an entirely different experience from our cruiseboat trips... quiet, slow, and right on the water. You feel each puff of breeze and hear the sound of the burbling water. Definitely more serene. We've done white water trips in years past and this was nothing like that. It's a nice contrast.
The views of the mountains are beautiful...
From my perspective, the views from our cruiseboat are even more dramatic since we are able to get right up to the mountains... but, this was still very beautiful. We did see a couple bald eagles, some elk, bison, and antelope. White pelicans, Canada geese, ducks, and other birds. But, mostly it was just laid back.
I got an afternoon motorcycle ride in before it was time to come home and clean up. On the way back home, I came across another C-Dory owner, Roger from Idaho (In Cahoots), who was getting ready to launch his boat. We had a short but pleasant visit.
Then out for supper... we dressed like grown-ups and had supper at the Mural Room at Jackson Lake Lodge. Definitely fine dining; we had a table by the window with a gorgeous view of the mountains. The meals were "upscale", pricey, and tasty... great service and very nice presentation. It was a great way to top off our day off.
