Day 6 - Visit Jackson, Wyoming

We got up early this morning with the idea that we'd head out before sunrise on the road to Jackson and catch some good photos of the Tetons. Well, by the time we actually got out, it was well past sunrise and closer to 8:00, so we decided to drive on down to Jackson Lodge and eat breakfast in the Pioneer Grill. This is the same grill that Ann Sue ate in with her parents and Craig when she was young and they were on vacation.

The young man working our section was from California. He had graduated last year from Pepperdine with a degree in International Business. He spent the past year working in China teaching English outside of Shang Hi. He is working at Jackson Lodge because he loves the mountains. This is the Pioneer Grill



After breakfast, we drove down Hwy 191 to Jackson to do some shopping and see if there were any good Mexican Restaurants in Jackson. We seem to have started a tradition of seeking out a Mexican restaurant at every place we go camping for more than one night.

On the way, we took a few pics of the Tetons. Here is one in the morning light.



Went by the Albertsons for some groceries, then parked in the free public
lot and walked around the downtown. Ann Sue made some purchases, and we got a tip about a Mexican restaurant to try. El Abuelito was OK, but not the great food we were searching for. Oh well, when we go back to Jackson next week, we will hit the Mountain High Pizza place we ate in last year. Hope they are still as good as we remember!

Jackson is a really nice town. Everything is neat, clean, and well-planned. Lots of good stores and restaurants. Not too crowded, either.

Bailey got some treats from the chicken enchilada. She was fine in the Twinkie while we were gone. She got a nice long walk, and then we sat outside in the screened tent relaxing. Took another bike ride and then Ann Sue baked some cinnamon muffins.

The temperature this morning was 32 degrees, but by the time we got to Jackson, it was close to 60. Got up to 75 today. No rain, clear skies. All in all, a very nice day.
