A day in the big city...

Our closest civilization is the town of Jackson... grocery stores, reasonably priced fuel, plenty of restaurants... swimmin' pools, movie stars... sorry, I got carried away. It was a chilly drive down to Jackson, considering I had to stop several times to take photos of the Tetons shrouded in the snow clouds. But, a good Mexican lunch has helped warm me right up. McDonald's for dessert and fast wifi, then grocery shopping, and we'll be heading north to "home" again.



On the bright side (literally), the sun is shining. It's still COLD and the wind has a real bite to it. The forecast is for improving sky conditions but cold for the next 24 hours. No mention of snow in the forecast after tonight. We'll be bringing the water hose in, for sure.

The fireplace in the HitchHiker is getting a good workout. When we stopped in the marina on the way out of town, one of the guys there said, "Hey, at least this cold stuff will keep the mosquitoes away for a few days." Damn "glass half-full" people. ;-)
