Today, I'm recapping the last 3 days staying here in Jackson Hole. Ken ordered a new headset for the intercom and it arrived today from Conway, NH so we will be back on the road tomorrow. We have enjoyed our 5 day stay; Yellowstone, walking the town, shopping, catching up on laundry, haircut for Kitty and finding a great lunch spot at Betty's Rock Cafe. We also found the best shop we have ever seen for all kinds Indian pottery and Ken sent a couple home.
We took a ride up to Teton National Park stopped at the wonderful Visitor's Center and museum, visited the Chapel of the Transfiguration a little, very old log cabin chapel that you can sit and look out a picture window behind the altar and have a fantastic view the Teton mountains.
Then we started up to Jenny Lake but then a rain and hail storm hit(the black clouds looked like we were getting a tornado)and we headed back to town, not before we got hit in the face with the hail. By the time we got back to Jackson Hole the storm was over.
At the Visitor's Center we copied down a quotation that I really loved as it sums up our feel regarding our adventure.
"You must search for the loveliness of America; it is not obvious; it is scattered; but when you find it, it touches you and binds you to it like a great secret oath taken in silence." by Struthers Burt, Jackson Hole Dude Rancher, 1934
FACTOID: The silvery, gray-green bushes covering the landscape is Sagebrush and the only thing that eats it is the Pronghorn Antelope. When you break or rub the leaves it gives of a pungent odor which is why no other animal eats it.
