Camping on the Jack's Fork

We had planned a camping trip for the 2nd weekend of August not knowing it would basically be the first weekend in the summer that was not over a 100 degrees.  Finally, we lucked out with great camping weather with sunny, mild days and cool nights.  Jim, Hadley, Tommy and his mom headed down on Friday last weekend. Madeleine and I stayed back so she could do her swimming lesson Saturday morning.  Then we headed down with Butch on Saturday.  The campsite was very remote and there was no one around!   The Jack's Fork is a great river and the kids really enjoyed playing it.

Getting ready to float... the princess innertube is a great way to experience the river :)
The river was very slow moving... in the kayak I actually floated upstream
Hadley practicing her paddling skills
The big flashlight from Todd is a lot of fun... and it can be used to scare away raccoons later at night

Hadley likes to find the biggest possible rocks to throw in
