Day 2 in Jackson, Wyoming and a Ride into Idaho
Again the morning broke cool and crystal clear! The sky is amazing here in the morning. It never seems to have a cloud. I arose early to the rest of the clan sawing them off! After a few hours of reading and enjoying my morning brew, the others rose and we headed off to The Bunery for a yummy breakfast. Adventures awaited us as we crossed the Teton Pass into Idaho, with vistas at 10,000 plus feet! The trip proved to be a bit scary though as Duke (our diesel) seemed to not like the high altitudes and didn’t want to shift into 2nd or 3rd gear! We are not sure what the problem was but it did provide some queasy nerves all around. The decent down the mountain with multiple 10% grades proved to be a bit scary under the circumstances. We made it back down into Jackson Hole safely and proceeded to the Carr wheelhouse for a bit of a nap. Dinner tonight was a delicious Rocky Mountain pan fried trout for me and an Elk chop for “my dear sweet reason for living”! Erin played it safe and went for the pork ribs. Erin and Keith are off again on a late night adventure, seeking that big Elk which seems to have eluded them thus far! Erin flies out bright and early in the am for Richmond and we will again hit the road. We have decided due to time and Duke’s possible condition that we will start east. Tomorrow our destination will be Cheyenne, Wyoming!
