Jackson, WY

Trip miles 4037
Daily miles 109

On Tuesday we took it easy and hung out for most of the day in Jackson. We had been doing a lot of driving and wanted to relax.


The car hadn't been washed since Dallas so I needed to get it cleaned to remove the Bug Sematary from the nose. There was quite a collection of insect parts all over the bumper and some nearly whole ones in the intakes. Additionally there were small bloodstains all over the front - many of the insects had feasted on humans, cows, deer and who knows what other types of animals before meeting their end. Even Craig Venter's group would have had trouble sorting all of the DNA out.

There was a shop in town that took care of it, and then the urge to explore overcame us. We checked out Teton Village where the ski resort is.

After that we drove into Grand Teton National Park, and that was spectacular. We also did it as part of a tour on Wednesday, so the majority of pictures will be from that day. Here's a taste.


This sign isn't kidding. There was a lot of wildlife to be seen on this trip.

We did 109 miles without even trying.
