Gros Ventre Campground

We traveled yesterday from the north end of the park to the south end.  We set up camp at Gros Ventre Campground.  This is the weirdest campground I have ever stayed in.  It only had electric hook ups-no water.  They also have chosen to stop using some camp sites but they haven't done anything to them-they are just overgrown and the picnic tables and driveways are falling apart.  There are also a few loops of permanent residents.  But even though it is weird we saw some very cool wildlife.  Both mornings we were there we saw several moose.  They were so huge!!  They would just walk thru the campground snacking on the willow tree leaves. The seemed very comfortable with all the RVs and people taking their pictures.  Random moose facts, males can weigh up to 1400 pounds and live for 20 years.
One evening we decided to go try to find some bears heading down to the river-we did not see any bears but we see a hawk
And an owl.
Next we will go explore the Jenny Lake area.
