It was well after 11:00 after we had gotten up, had breakfast, and prepared ourselves for the day. It was decided to head South to Jackson Hole WY. The trip would be 130 miles one way and the speed limit in Yellowstone was 45 miles per hour at the best. Sometimes, it is lower. We figured that it would take us 3 hours to get there, one hour to eat, and one hour to tour the town. The Tetons was something that most people I talked with said that we had to see. With my own personal photographer in the back seat, off we went. In 1988, a fire swept through Yellowstone like no other. It destroyed 793,880 acres of timber. That equaled 36 % of the park. Below is a picture of what the park looks like today.
On the road to the Tetons.
Our first look at the Tetons.
We were driving down this highway and looked over and saw this good looking couple standing in front of this sign. We pulled over and snapped a couple of pictures of them.
We finally arrived in Jackson WY and found it to be an attractive town. Note in this next picture the ski hill in the background.
The architecture of this building caught my eye.
At each corner of the town square, they have this entrance made out of elk antlers.
Our 2 hours were up so we saddled back up and headed out of town going North. As we were passing the Tetons again, things started looking pretty black in the West. Judy said, “I believe we are going to get wet.” I said we could outrun it. Check out this storm.
It wasn’t 10 minutes later that we got bombarded with the awfullest rain, sleet, blowing wind, and the temperature dropped to 52 degrees. We were wet clear through to our skivvies. By the time that we got back to our campsite, we had pretty much dried off. It was just getting dark when we got to the camper.
