WOW, SPRING HAS ARRIVED IN THE TETONS--AT LEAST FOR TWO DAYS.

Earlier last week, on Sunday and Monday, the temperature broke 70 (by one degree) for the first time in 2011.  Sunday was the first day we were able to grill outside since we arrived in Wyoming.  Take a look at the picture below and you will still see a sizable patch of snow behind the grill.
What more can a guy ask for?  The charcoal is beginning to get hot, there is a plate of cheese and crackers on the grill table, and there is a cold beer waiting to be enjoyed.

I grilled out again on Monday night and just finished before the rain came.  It has rained at least half of every day until Friday with the high temperature staying in the 50's, including our day off on Thursday.  

On Thursday, we volunteered, along with other Grand Teton Lodge Company employees, to clean-up the roadside between Jackson Lake Lodge and Colter Bay Village.  The group shot before we began can be found below.  
We were each assigned a mile of the roadway to clean.  A little more than halfway through our area, the rain came, followed by a mixture of rain, sleet and snow.  One of the security staff came to our rescue to pick us up as the temperature had dropped to 35 degrees while the snow fell.
