Previous Day |
When You're Where You Want To Be,
Stay There
We took a break from our travels and stayed the day in Jackson,
Wyoming, aka Jackson Hole. I learned the city is named Jackson and
the general area is known as Jackson Hole. We wandered around the
historic(?) downtown. It is really a tourist heaven. Shops,
shops, shops. In the afternoon, we wandered into the Grand Teton
National Park. Breathtaking.
We returned to town and wandered some more. Then we had supper
in a local tavern. As we walked to the bike to return to the
hotel, we noticed people gathering in one corner of the town square.
Joining them, we discovered a local stage company was putting on a
cowboy show for us tourists. Kind of like
the one we saw in Williams a few days ago. Cute, interacted
with members of the audience, lots of fun. |

In the morning, the weather was beautiful, promising to warm up and NO
wind. |

We checked out the town |

You can have a real stage coach ride if you should want one. |

Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.
Since we did not ride much today, Carol was anxious to get back in the
saddle. |

On the way to the Grand Teton National Park there is an elk refuge.
As far as we could see, there are no elk. |

We're into the park |

We stopped by the road for the views |

What can I say? Fabulous! |

There is a full size bronze statue in the town square |

There is a nature store with fossils.
This one is from Mongolia |

This is a cave bear from the Russian Urals. Connection with
Jackson unknown. |
They
close off a block of downtown and put on a little skit for us tourist
folks. |

These are the good guys |

This is the bad guy. He gets it in the end, but so does almost
everyone else. |

A part of the big shoot out. |
