“The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.” – G. K. Chesterton

Day 7 Finished


We went west from South Dakota to Wyoming. Most of it was two lane roads with plenty of wildlife to see. There were dozens upon dozens of deer, antelope, and I even saw a moose. Once we entered the mountains, upward towards 6,000 feet, we saw snow. Real white, cold, snow. Neither Bill nor myself have seen snow in years, and Tika, Tika's never seen snow at all. Bill hasn't had his Jeep on a proper off road excursion and Tika needed to play in the snow, so we went off-roading to the snow! Tika seemed to enjoy herself.

We made it to Jackson, Wyoming at about 10 pm on Wednesday without a place to stay. We were smart before we left and raided AAA of their guide books. We decided on Antler Inn, only one block from the main strip of town. We really couldn't have found a better place to stay. A king sized bed, fireplace, free internet, dog friendly, and flat screen...I'm in.

For those who know Jackson Hole, we did go to the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar! I love the fact that the bar stools are horse saddles. We had a Fat Tire there and decided to hop over to Town Square Tavern to have real cocktails. They had a Wii for us to bowl with and I bowled the best game of my life! A drunk hippy said if Bill let him have a swing of it and didn't get a strike, he'd buy us a Jaegerbomb. He failed. We drank!
