Lee Duquette stayed at the top of the hill by the parking lot, but Karen Duquette ventured down into Cottonwood Creek, so they took a photo of each other.

Below: Karen Duquette asked the only other couple in sight to take a photo of her by the creek, because Lee Duquette was nowhere in site. When Karen got almost to the top of the hill by the parking lot, she took a photo of the fall foliage and the mountains across the street.

The two RV Gypsies then drove to the Visitor Center so Karen Duquette could buy a Grand Teton National Park pin and patch. Upon arrival, they saw a sign that the visitor center will be closed tomorrow. (The park stays open). They were so glad they got to the Visitor Center while it was open.
