Today we drove to the Grand Tetons. Wyoming started out sort of like a green north Texas, sort of all rolling plains. Then gradually the hills got taller, and then we saw the mountains. It just got bigger and better as we went along. Craggy towers were growing right next to the road. We did hit some of our tax dollars in action (shovel ready as it were) and the roads were rugged. Rain also gifted us. We went into Chugwater to eat, but the Buffalo Stampede Inn was under new management and wasn’t open yet. While taking pictures of charming downtown Chugwater one of the natives came out to take pictures of the tourists. We ate breakfast at Wheatland Inn, where we found out that the lady next to us had a lazy daughter-in-law and who was getting what test. Just like home. Yummy blueberry pancakes. We are now in the economy room at the Hatchet Resort. Very nice place. They cut us a deal since we got there late. Wonderful food in the dining area and our hardworking waitress was from Romania.
I’m off to bed. No internet because of the rain. Will post tomorrow.
