Oldmans Creek Preserve in Auburn is an old Boy Scout Camp now turned nature preserve under the care of South Jersey Land & Water Trust.

So after we left Yellowstone National Park in the rain and cold, we took many hours to drive south to Grand Teton National Park, which is connected to her more famous neighbor by a 10 mile road.
We drove through the clouds and the rain until we reached Gros Ventre Campground, where Uncle John had help from Tree Rider and The Pres with setting up camp.
