Sunday July 12 to Jackson, Wyoming











Sunday Night July 12, 2010 The Virginian RV Resort, Jackson, Wyoming
It seems forever since we had an outside link to the world via the internet or even cell phone, but it has been rather delightful! After staying outside of Yellowstone for two nights, we moved into Fishing Bridge in the middle of the Yellowstone National Park for three nights. This was followed by an extra night in Bridge Bay. We spent numerous days roaming the park looking for ‘mules as Keith calls them! On Thursday, we picked up Erin at the Jackson Hole airport and she spent the days in search with us. We were very productive, seeing 4-5 Grizzlies, one with her two cubs, numerous Black Bears, Pronghorn, White Tail and Mule deer, and tons of Elk, both cows and bulls! In addition we spotted beaver, pelicans (yep in Yellowstone), ducks, chipmunks (janitors as we like to call them because they clean up the crumbs left by others), and herd after heard of Bison!!!! We traveled over the Black tooth Pass twice, enjoying the 30 degree drop in temperatures and the snow on the top of the mountain! The animals were the highlight of the trip thus far! Sorry Old Faithful and wondrous geysers, you guys were neat, but the animals had you beat! Lamar Valley, Haden Valley, and the Beartooth Pass were all amazing!
Today was a change of pace as we moved into Jackson Hole and traversed the town. After a great lunch at The Bunery, (yep we got to go back tomorrow for the sticky buns), a brewsky at the Snake River Brew Pub, Erin and Keith hit the road again going back into the Tetons in search of the additional Griz!!! I decided to stay back and catch up on some laundry and reading! Tomorrow will bring a trip over the Teton Pass into Idaho, a trip to Teton Village and a dinner already planned consisting of Elk, Bison, and who knows what other wild animal! I am already dreading Erin’s return back to Richmond on Tuesday. It has been such a pleasure having her with us on this adventure! We sure wish Matt could have joined us!
