The day started off dark and stormy, and stayed that way til after lunch. The snow began about 7 am and stayed with us til early afternoon. After dropping Luke off at the airport, we headed North toward Yellowstone. As we drove up along the Lewis River it started to snow quite hard. At the West Thumb park of Yellowstone Lake, the steam from the hot pools mixed nicely with the falling snow. Nothing had any boundaries. We wandered almost alone in a white, quiet bubbling world. The Canyon of the Yellowstone river disappeared into the fog as we sat listening to the roar of the waterfall. As we drove North we stumbled across odd wildlife -- a scared elk, wet bison, mule deer impervious to the presence of humans and a group of mountain goats. ... read more

Så skulle vi videre fra Yellowstone, turen gik videre til Jackson Hole i Wyoming. Vi havde besluttet at køre inde i Yellowstone, selv om den var lidt længere. Det viste sig at være en god beslutning, ja det vidste vi jo egentligt godt, da vi havde taget den rute den modsatte vej i 2010. Man kan se at terrænet ændrer sig på vejen derned. I det nordlige Yellowstone er der meget høje og forrevne bjerge, hvor det ændrer sig undervejs til at blive lidt mere afrundet terræn, lige til man forlader Yellowstone og kører ind i Tetons Nationalpark, man kører faktisk direkte fra den ene nationalpark til den næste, hvor man til sidst befinder sig i en dal på det sidste stykke ind til Jackson. At Jackson er fashionabel opdager man først når man checker ind ... read more

Now the first logical thing to do would have been to find a place to sleep that night and then enjoy town. I even met a fellow touring group who told me they had a wonderful Warmshower host, and that maybe he could accommodate me too. But you see, I was thirsty. And one thing they do brag about in this town is their wiskey. .. So I found a bar, got lost in the I-have-wi-fi zone and failed to find the said host, tried some last minute Couchsurfing with no answer, then proceeded around 10pm to ask ... read more

We arrived yesterday in Jackson Hole, WY and it is such a beautiful place. Our lodging is a quaint log cabin at the Rustic Inn with all the amenities you could ask for in a hotel. Our first night we grabbed dinner at the Silver Dollar a local bar/restaurant at the Wart Hotel. Today we went exploring in and around Jackson. We went to the Grand Teton Village at Jackson Hole Resort and shopping in town. The town is full of adorable local shops selling jewelry, winter gear and speciality items. The town of Jackson is quaint and moves at a totally different pace than home. Everyone we have met here have been very welcoming and friendly. After a day in town, we went on a beautiful sunset sleigh ride through the Spring Creek Ranch and ... read more
