Jackson Hole Lodge

This morning I woke up a little bit to tired and smelling like a fireplace. Yesterday evening our fantastic neighbors had a campfire. After a day working on the electronics in our bus, setting up my new PS 3 Slim among other things, this was a welcomed break. We brought a couple of bottles of wine ...

... Canyon where we had a long gradual climb that provided us with beautiful views of the Grand Teton and every glacier surrounding it. On this hike we also got to see a moose from afar and an adorable little yellow bellied marmot up close and personal. We were pretty exhausted after the hike, and in our quest to find more wireless internet we found the Teton Lodge which had spectacular views of the range and some pretty delicious pizza.

... and a very windy bald face. After our hike, we attempted to treat ourselves to a night in one of the Yellowstone Cabins since it was supposed to rain. Unfortunately all rooms in Yellowstone were booked so we were left to duke it out for the remaining campsites in the southernmost area of the park, Grant Village. After being shut out of the cabin experience, we headed over to the Old Faithful Inn ...

Got an early start this morning and headed into the Teton Village, That place is pretty dang Amazing! 10 lodges at the base of the mountain, tons of shops and places to eat. We decided to pass on riding the tram to the top, because it did cost an ass ton... After that we headed into Jackson, WY and have been walking ...

Departure

This week has been incredible. We all have learned so much! Students will never look at the world around them in quite the same way.

We know this trip will be unforgettable for all students. They created memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Thank you for sharing our adventure with us!

... got back into Jackson early in the afternoon so I went for a walk around town and stopped into the Million Dollar Cowboy bar for a couple of beers. I ended up leaving the bar with a bottle of single barrel Jack Daniels which had been signed by the JD master distiller. It cost me $45 US. From there I went to another nearby pub for dinner and just sat out on the outdoor balcony relaxing with a few more drinks.

... of the Grand Tetons, the Snake River and all the critters in the Park. Three and a half hours of River, moose, beavers, stories and "big sky" over ragged, rough mountains we were all ready to climb ashore. As darkness overtook us we climbed, cold and happy into the bus for our ride home. We know how blessed we are to be out here experiencing such closeness to the grandeur of nature.

... downstairs again in an instant. The bleak unadorned room illuminated by florescent light looks like a miserable hospital ward. We decided not to check the bathroom for fear that we might find corpses. Fortunately our CC charges are credited, and we depart disillusioned. You can see the florescent lights on their website Teton Gables. Just across ...

... towns are not so sleepy. All hotels/motels/ and other types of accommodation were booked. Yes, that's right, I was splurging on indoor accommodation. Camping in the desert does not appeal to me. Anyways, finally found a motel in Dubois. Nice little establishment (the Chinook Lodge). Next morning, we were taking a pic in front of the lodge for memory's sake and I threw out my back (horsing around, not taking a picture). Makes for a pleasant ...
