Relaxing in Jackson Hole, WY, in a tiny motel (I swear) used to be called the Bates Motel at some point. Not surprised after my drive up here from SLC. I noticed that I entered Wyoming at 11am. Then, I noticed that I entered WY again around 12:30. Somehow, I entered WY again around 1:30. I half expected to see Rod Serling standing on the side of the road. I even found myself looking in the mirror to see if I suddenly looked like Ingar Stevens. (Old people like me will get that story.)
Finally figured how to put one "card" from my new camera into another, slightly larger "card", in order to put that one into my laptop and show you photos straight from my camera. Told you I'm electronically challenged! Anyway, I found some more photos from SLC:
Couldn't resist the gorgeous leaf and shadow. The second photo is Cynthia and me, holding Buddy.
This is a photo of Ruth and her dog - Ruth was the gal that started Ruth's Diner, where I ate lunch on Monday. That's the place that had the huge bisquits and took place in a trolley car...
The morning I left SLC was the first time I saw frost, right there on the top of my car.
But, now I'm Jackson and it's beautiful here. I was still wearing my 'uniform' of short sleeve t-shirts and shorts/skorts and slip on sneakers when I got here. I cruised around town on foot the first 2 days and fell in love with the town. Friday was the first day I broke out the long/warmer clothes from the far recesses of the car trunk.
Yesterday, I drove through the valley approaching the Teton National Park. There is actually a lot to see before you even have to pay to get into the park:
I happened upon the last guy just after he had crossed the road. He was cool as a cucumber and just crossed while about 5 cars were trying to photograph him, including me.
I came back into town and stopped for a hot chocolate and cinnamon roll at a little cafe, wrote some postcards, and contintued walking around town and to the post office to mail my latest pile of cards.
Got some sleep so I could spend all Saturday back in the Tetons and into Yellowstone National Park. Had to prepare my picanic basket...
I'll have more on that tomorrow!
