Sunday, And Here We Be................





at the Gros Ventre (pronounched "Gro Vont"...must be French) Campground located about 13 miles NE of Jackson. We're presently in the Grand Teton National Park. Shoulda came here when we first arrived in Jackson!!!! Only cost $8.50 per day, there's a dump station and water but nothing else. We're parked near the old ampi-theatre and found that we can run a generator 24 hours a day. Nice and flat, paved parking lot and no trees to interfere with my MTV or Becky's Internet dish. Found a benchmark near the defunct theatre. Might have a good chance of seeing some deer this evening....I've been walking around and found signs of them all over. Might be a good night to listen for coyotes too. Am having some problems with my TV satellite and can only pick up one satellite......have enough TV to keep me occupied and Becky hasn't left her computer since I got the internet dish up and running. I even had to prepare my own lunch! Tomorrow we head for Yellowstone for three days. The recent rain sure helped us out as the fire near the East Entrance has been controlled, or maybe out. Anyway the entrance is open again, just hope it stays that way until we depart.

Here's some pics we took last night and today. The dinner and show at the Bar J Ranch was pretty good, at least the show was. Dinner was OK, we both had BBQ pork ribs. We watched the steaks being cooked and figured you'd get what you'd get, no way to order them the way you wanted as they were preparing over 250 steaks. The cook said that was about normal for the night. They serve 750 people a night, seven days a week from end of May to end of September. Guess they gotta make hay while the sun shines. Pictures from last night and our present campground. Will probably be off line until we leave Yellowstone. Might have some interesting pictures to post then. Later. W&B
