We woke up this morning and grabbed some coffee (yes we know, were addicts) from the Anvil’s lobby. It’s a very curated storefront full of Anvil branded merch and other cool looking pieces of clothing and jewelry. We decided to make one more store run before we ended up setting up camp. Of course we made a stop at the worlds smallest REI, then we hit Target and Whole Foods for our last few needs and then headed to Gros Ventre Campground. We saw a Moose and some herds of what we think were Elk on the roads into camp. We set up camp that afternoon with beautiful blue skys and a clear view of the Tetons. Our camp spot had probably the one of the best views of the whole 400 spot campground so, lucky us!
Unlucky for us though at about 6:20pm we were just about to cook a nice stir fry veggie dinner but moved our party to the car because of some aggressive thunder and lightning. We watched the storm map as we sat and watch the clouds roll and the thunder impact overhead. It was all the sudden on top of us then the next it was miles away but still didn’t want to risk anything.
So cheers to a Coconut Curry dehydrated meal in the car on the first night!
With more rain coming through the night and no more thunder we fell asleep in our tent with the patter of drops on top of us. It was a great first night in camp.
