Grand Teton National Park Ride: June 2015

[SpudRider]

I took a two-day ride to Grand Teton National Park in June of 2015. I rode my new Zongshen RX3, and had an opportunity to test my Catoma Lone Rider tent. :) The weather was great, and I enjoyed a very good time. :tup:

Here are some photographs of my Zongshen RX3 on the route east to Jackson.

After arriving in Jackson, I rode through town and set up camp in Grand Teton National Park. My Catoma Lone Rider tent worked very well. :)

Looks like a good trip, Spud, thanks for posting the report and pics...

Thank you, Huck. :) The weather was beautiful, and I had great time.

[Huck369]

Send some of that weather my way..... :)

[SpudRider]

If I could, I certainly would. ;)

[Louis Angel]

Spud, I hope you realize how blessed and lucky you are to get to have done / seen all that! :-D Awesome! ! ! ! By the way, one of those pics is now my desktop background on my computer at work! :)

[SpudRider]

Thank you, Louis. :) Indeed, I consider myself blessed to live in a beautiful part of the world. ;)

[MICRider]

Beautiful pics as always Spud! Love the mountains :).
I can see the tent strapped in front of your topbox, but where do you keep your sleeping bag, air mattress, etc? Very clean pack job, you must be liking the side panniers?

[SpudRider]

Thank you, Stew. :) Everything easily packed into the luggage, with room to spare. Indeed, I love the stock panniers. :tup:

[Carangajeira]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Superb pics as always, Spud. Thanks for taking the time.

Thank you, gentlemen. :)

Did you ever get a chance to wet a line in Jackson Lake? Last time I was there the Brownies were hitting on a red and black Mepps spinner on just about each cast.

[SpudRider]

No, I don't fish. ;)

I have seen fishermen on the Snake River, just past the outlet of the Jackson Lake Dam. However, I haven't seen fishermen on the lake itself; but it is a big lake. ;)

[Pliskin]

Spectacular mountains! The area is very beautiful. Thanks for the pics and ride report Spud, glad you had great time on your new Zong. :)

[SpudRider]

Thank you, Pliskin. :) When you have time, please do post a ride report from Australia. I love to see your yellow and black Zong. ;)

[Mag00]

Looks like fun :clap: beautiful photos

One of these days I need to do an overnighter.
