I went on two day hikes this past weekend. On Thursday, Hilary and I did the Beaver Ponds trail in the Mammoth area. The scenery and wildflowers were pretty, and halfway through the loop we encountered a series of ponds (shown) formed by beaver dams.
On Saturday before work, I climbed Avalanche Peak with two Michiganders. The trail was a mere two miles each way, but felt like more with its 2000 ft. elevation gain. The peak, sitting in the middle of the Absaroka Range, offered a great view of surrounding mountains, the Tetons, and Yellowstone Lake.
About a week ago, Hilary was serving the "Lodge Favorites" station when a boy walked up and asked for a hamburger in a distinctly French accent. Worried he would not understand her, she asked very slowly, "Would you like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, or pickles with that?" Not following her, after a pause and a slight furrow of the brows, he simply replied, "I am French."
