Camping at Signal Mountain

We went camping at Signal Mountain this last weekend. Todd brought the kayak along for it's first official float of the summer. Coleman and I hung out on the shore while Todd and the boys explored the Oxbow bend.



Earlier in the day I made a comment that I wanted to actually see an otter. Well, I guess it was our lucky day because Todd spotted one! We were able to watch it for a few minutes while Coleman threw rocks in the water.



Later that evening it was my turn to venture out with Liston and Deacon. We were able to see tons of wildlife. As we meandered through the little islands on the river we were able to see a Mama moose and baby. Unfortunately I only had the video camera with me--which did me little good. I had a hard time paddling and filming at the same time :)


Here I am trying to film a beaver that kept swimming around us slapping his tail. I was surprised at how close he got to us and how long he swam near us. Liston and Deacon loved it!

This young buck wandered right into our camp and munched on some bushes near our car. He definately wasn't shy. While he was there a doe came walking into our camp and was going to walk right by Coleman and Liston. Todd said he thought she was curious about all the noisy sounds they were making. We ended up seeing her baby later that day!

Here's a pretty little Western Tanager

Todd and the boys kayaked on Jackson Lake the next morning. I love the view of Mount Moran from the lakeshore.

And lastly we hit String Lake before we headed home.
