Thank You, Grauer School!

On May 13 a very international group of students from the Grauer School in San Diego, hosted by the Teton Science School, visited Grand Teton to help prepare the Menor's Ferry for the season. Led by Mike Nicklas from Interpretation, the twenty students helped clean the ferry and then re-caulk it, between them putting in a total of 60 hours of work. THANK YOU!


When the ferry is launched this summer, it will sink as soon as it enters the water. After a week or so on the bottom of the Snake River, the wood will have swollen enough to seal all the seams. The hulls will then be pumped out, and Menor's Ferry will be afloat again! The efforts of our volunteers will be greatly appreciated by all who enjoy a ride on the ferry this summer!
