Day 37 - Idaho (Aug 2)

By Finny

Mom and I got up early and hung out in the lodge for a bit.

We did a hike around the property with my dad when he got up.  There are some pretty cool glamping sites right by the river - with beer in the river!  My mom thought it was genius.

Here's the front of the lodge.

I thought these were big dogs, but it turns out they are the goats Penny works with.

There was a 50% chance of rain expected around 1 today so we headed out first thing to do some hiking in the Tetons - with our bear spray.

I got in some snuggles along the way...

The drive through the Tetons was really pretty!

When we got to the hiking trail there was a sign that said NO DOGS!  I was bummed.  I stayed with my dad and my mom and kids did the 4 mile hike.  The photos looked great!

  

We stopped for lunch at Jackson Lake Lodge built by Rockefellers and had a picnic outside, since dogs were not allowed inside.

On we journeyed...

So beautiful!

I found this sign a bit disconcerting.  Shortly after we did see a great big moose sitting in the brush, but we weren't able to snap a photo for my blog.  The rangers were out to keep the traffic meeting.

We traveled over by Mormon's Row.  My mom was pretending like she was Ansel Adams.

We headed home through Jackson Hole...

We had rainbow trout for dinner back at the lodge.

I practiced biking with my mom and Lily after dinner.  It was pretty fun!  Then I took a turn with dad and Corey.

Lily and mom went on a ride down the road again to find the start of the trail we are hiking tomorrow.  Just a half-mile up the road they crossed from Idaho into Wyoming, which is pretty cool.

Another game night :)

Day 36 - Idaho (Aug 1)

 By Finny

We visited Shoshone Falls first thing and took a little hike.  It was pretty hot, so we didn't stick around too long!

I love open country side and feeling the wind through my fur. #FinnyRoadtrip.

We arrived in Victor, Idaho a little before our place as ready so we stopped in town a placed with smoked meats - one of my favorite food groups.  We sat outside, thanks to a nice outdoorsy guy named Wes that gave up his table for us.  We paid for his beer as a thank you and ended up talking with him for a while.  He is a paraglider instructor in Jackson Hole and offered to give us a friends and family discount.  Humans only.  Hmph.

When we arrived at Moose Creek Lodge a few miles from Victor, I couldn't believe my luck!  There was a big lawn, dogs, and a stream.  It was AWESOME!  I checked out the stream first and found a few burrs too!

This is my buddy Penny.  She works really hard taking care of sheep when she is not playing with me.  Molly helps out with running the lodge.

My family really liked the cabin, although it didn't go too well with my muddy paws '_'

Our cabin was right behind the main lodge that had a bar, game room, and big seating area with a huge fireplace.  I made a lot of people friends here too!

The front porch was a great place to hand out.  There were a lot of hummingbirds to watch!

My mom and dad went biking and stayed back to hike with the kids.

Later we had the dinner they offered at the lodge and listened to the live music.  It was a pretty magical evening.  I ran around with my friends.

Out lodge came with a complimentary s'more kit... look at that posture!

I really like it here!  I gave Penny a goodnight kiss and told her I'd see her tomorrow!

Day 35 - Lake Tahoe to Twin Falls, Idaho (July 31)

By Finny

Today is our last day in Tahoe!  Mom and dad and I all got up early.  They headed out with their bikes.  The ride they did looked really pretty by the pictures.

On the way out I snuggled my mom to make sure she wasn't sad about leaving. 

We drove to Twin Falls Idaho.  We picked up some Chick-Fil-A and ate in the hotel.  A cool think at Chick-Fil-A is they walked us to our car with an umbrella!  It was very nice.  So nice I didn't even bark at them!

The hotel was quite a let down compared to our house in Tahoe, and really, compared to sleeping on the street.  We left early the next morning.
