Our days off the 3rd week of June started out uneventful. After washing the RV (you may recall we were interrupted a few weeks ago by a snow shower) on Thursday, we went for a hike on Friday.
Friday morning was cool, with temps in the mid 50's, and overcast. We hiked out to Heron Pond to get a view of Jackson Lake from the Southeastern shoreline. It was encouraging to see the water level in Jackson Lake on the rise. There were actually some motorboats in some of the slips at the marina. Because of the overcast skies, there were no blog worthy photos. The only wildlife we saw were a chipmunk and a robin.
On our way back from town we saw a huge bear jam about halfway between Jackson Lake Lodge and Colter Bay. A bear jam is were there are many cars parked along the side of the highway with the tourists, yes-we consider ourselves tourists on our days off, all trying to see and/or photograph the bear in its native habitat. We saw a male grizzly nicknamed "Blondie" about 100 yards from the side of the road. The pictures below give you an idea of how she got her name.
Notice how the shoulder hump of this grizzly bear is dark brown while her coat is a blond color.
