EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Chaos18]

Well, the dates are set, the deposit is in place for the Grand Tetons, my airline tickets are purchased and the car reserved. Now if I could just decide what for sure what exactly I want to see and where I want to hike the six days I will be in Yellowstone. It is so hard to narrow it down. There is so much to see.
I am still hoping to find someone to join me for the days in Yellowstone since all they would have to do is get there and have their hiking stuff. I already have the car and will have my campsite selected and applied for this month. It is definitely getting more real I think half the excitement of a vacation is in the plans.
I still have a few things I need to buy and I wish I could afford a GPS or one of the fancy multi-function watches. Oh well, I do need to learn how to use a compass and Maps much better before I leave. I know how to use a road map but I don't know how to use the trail maps like I need to.
So besides getting a nice but, what are you up to?

Sounds like things are coming along well for it. You'll have a great time. Its beautiful country.

I'm just up to my regular shenanigans. Work, chores and family.

they might have a way to meet up with someone from WY

I would rather go alone than have a person I don't know along with me for a week, you still have time to get acquainted

Thinking about my trips to Jackson, Wyoming. camping in the river valley looking at the Tetons with a moose a in the near foreground, went there the year after the Yellowstone fire.  

The big solar eclipse is happening while I am on the pack trip. The best viewing arch goes right over the Tetons. I am still trying to figure out the camera part.

My biggest regret about the trip is that my pretty boy Corsario (see avatar) didn't live to make the trip. He was the finest horse I have ever owned, and he still holds my heart.

I would love to get that information. I am still trying to find someone I know who has both the interest and the money/health. I put off going to Europe when I was young enough to do the hostels because I could not find anyone to save the money to go then. This time I am not waiting.

I have had amazing dogs so I know what you saying about Corsario. He is the kind of friend that you need in Yellowstone.

@daxigait

map/compass

put the map on the ground
put the compass on the map with the three North(s) all lined up, north of map, north of compass dial, north of arrow

now you should be able to look at the map and "see" the terrain matched
