Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Yesterday we made our way to Lehi near Salt Lake City, Utah, to the Cabellas store. You know how we like these stores. We met up with Don and Kathy, friends from Boise, Idaho, who are visiting here. We visited for a bit and then made plans to meet later for dinner.

So we were on a mission to find a place for the night. We found Mountain View RV Park in Draper and they were completely filled up but offered us an overflow spot on the entrance street to the park. So for $15 we had a spot with electricity but there was a problem. Anyone turning into the RV Park might run into the back of us if they were going too fast so we didn’t put the slide out in the bedroom and found that we could sleep that way. It was ok except for the fact that we were right beside Interstate 15. So it was a bit noisy but we were so tired we slept anyway. We did have a nice dinner with Don and Kathy and got caught up a bit. Kathy knits on her trips and gave me a lovely Christmas scarf which is really pretty. Thanks, Kathy.

Today we got up early and on the road by 9:15. Decided to take the Bear Lake route which is very scenic with mountains and rivers and trees starting to turn shades of yellow, orange, and red. Steve and Lucy, who we are meeting in Jackson, had called us to tell us about an excellent raspberry shake in Garden City so we stopped and it was terrific. After that great shake we arrived in Jackson Hole around 5:00 and stayed at the Teton Village Campground where we had stayed several times before. This time there was a warning about a mother bear and 2 cubs that have been seen about the campground. I’m still on the lookout for a bear so hopefully we’ll see one while here in Jackson.
