the lost battery....

we drove to the grand teton park last night…what can I say about the beauty of this place..it is Grand!! Pristine lakes are found all around the place with beautiful cobbled stone around them. the tetones look magnificent with nothing around them to challenge their beauty…there is a rich diversity of wild life (we have already spotted 2 bisons and a moose).

We had planned to do a day hike (in silence) to lake solitude…it is about a 14 mile hike with about 2 miles via boat..as soon as we boarded the boat, amit realized that he was not carrying battery for his camera…he surely did not want to do the hike without his third eye …more so he realized that his extra battery was still happily getting charged in the salt lake city state library!! Whew!! Amit had a long face and had a tough time believing that he had betrayed the battery and the charger and left them behind in salt lake city (300 miles away). Anyway, once again we got an opportunity to explore the goodness that exists around us and we were not disappointed…we called the salt lake city library and talked to a very helpful lady at the other end….she confirmed that the battery and charger were snuggly plugged in..right where amit had left them…we decided to send her a self address envelope and she promised to mail the battery and the charger to us!

Meanwhile, amit is trying to find intermediate ways of charging the battery…
