Back in the Teton Valley

After a long hiatus, we finally arrived back in the valley on June 24.  The drive from Lander is familiar, but there was so much snow on Towgotee Pass that the road to the lookout near Towgotee Lodge was impassable.  Tim and Tizzy Benson and their son Sam had been staying at our house and when we arrived we found a bottle of wine and a lasagna in the fridge for an easy dinner.
This was the lightest we've ever travelled, so we were unloaded and settle in less than two hours---which meant there was enough time for me to get in a short ride before dark.
We went to Targhee the next day for Wray's Wrun up Fred's Mountain.  The event was put on by Dreamchasers so we got to see the Batchen Family and other friends.  Nancy made her way to the top only five minutes slower than last year then cruised down with a few more friends.  This was the opening weekend of Targhee's summer season and there were people still skiing from top to bottom!
