Wyoming..........

……Jackson Hole, WY about 1030 this morning (Friday) and stopped at a campground that catered to “First Come, First Served”, they had one opening that we would fit in so I told ‘em that we would take it for two days. Surprise, surprise……….I almost crapped when the lady said “That’ll be $116.00 for the two days”. Oh well, guess we’ve had enough “freebies” and “cheap stops” along the way so this isn’t too bad. Got electricity, cable TV, water and sewer so we be living large for at least two days. No WiFi though but we’ve found the library. Found one geo-cache and another one is across the street from us at the Visitor’s Center. Will check that one out later. At least we’ve added two more states to our geocaching list the last two days. Traffic around here is worse then Seattle at rush hour…….we’re only 4 blocks from downtown so that’s kinda nice and we can hoof it back if we need to, or should I say if “B“ has another shopping attack. We had a down pour a few minutes ago, complete with thunder and lightening and now the sun is out and we have the A/C running (gotta get my monies worth for the spot).

Tried to get a reservation for a Cowboy dinner and show for tonight (Friday) but they were all booked up when Becky called them for today and tomorrow. They said we could stand in line at 5:30 and maybe we could get in. I called them later and they magically had two reservations available for tomorrow…….go figure……..anyway we gonna take in the dinner and show tomorrow.

Gotta make a run to Teton Village and take the Tram to the top of the mountain and will probably do that tomorrow also.

Got some pictures of the town square complete with Elk antlers. One corner of the square has a very “new looking” arch so I asked the Old Cowboy who operates the stagecoach ride “Why?” He said the arches haven’t been touched in 57 years and the one arch was rebuilt this year. Guess it takes that long to accumulate the antlers. .

Later……….we went down to the town square to watch the evening “Gun Fight” show. Got there a little early and some old fart was dressed up in his sheriff outfit. Traded a few quips with him and then Becky wanted her picture taken……..he told her it would cost a dollar. I took the picture and naturally “B” didn’t have a dollar! I paid up. We got home in time for another downpour. Now gonna settle back with my MTV…

Saturday….got up to rain and clouds and didn’t think we would be able to take the Tram ride at Teton Village. Found a cache across the street, ate a cowboy breakfast at a little dump next to the park, did some laundry and by the time we were done with that the sun had started to creep out. Becky took this one picture to see if you could tell which one is the Wooden Indian! Soooooooo……off we go to Teton Village. Bummer…..the Old Tram that used to take you all the way to the top was closed down in Oct 2006 and is being refurbished. Won’t reopen until late 2008 or 2009. We did take a Gondola ride up the mountain; but, it stopped 1500 feet short of the top and is a tourist trap with a restaurant. I didn’t even bother to check the prices on the menu. We saw two guys and a gal get off the gondola carrying humongous packs with them. A little later we saw what they were doing…….they were para-sailing. Kinda interesting watching them, I wouldn’t do that for a million bucks! We went back the place where we’re going to dinner tonight so “B” had to take a picture of the entrance. At the library, so will post this and continue our adventure.
