Two full days. Left Thermopolis headed for the Tetons. Made a stop in Riverton for supplies. Made it to Headwaters/Flagg Ranch campground around 5:15 PM. Beautiful, wooded campground. We are on a back row, close to the Snake River. From all the rain and snow melt, it is full and fast. We can hear it from the camper but not see it.
Signs everywhere to be Bear Aware, especially Mamas with babies. It started raining after we went through Dubois, it was 71 degrees and we had to go over Togwotee Pass. As we climbed, the temp. dropped to 37 and there was snow all over the sides of the roads and even people snowmobiling. We saw an elk, an eagle and lots of deer. Just outside of Dubois, we saw some bighorn sheep.
Rained as we set up the camper and all night long.
This morning, we traveled through the Tetons – 48 degrees when we left and misting rain. Went into Jackson and stopped for a pastry at The Bunnery, then strolled through Jackson, doing a little shopping. Sun came out and temp. was up in lower 70’s.
There was a Mountain Man Rendezvous going on today through Monday, so we were going to just cruise in there. Ended up spending two hours in there talking to a modern day Mountain Man called “Hombre”. He is a personal friend of Tom Oar from Mountain Man series. So much fun, so much information. He made all sorts of leather works – absolutely beautiful. I could only afford a bracelet and he was all sold out.
Hombre is on the left.
Left the rendezvous and headed back through the park, stopping at Signal Mountain Lodge to eat their famous nachos and to hang out in the lodge with cell service and internet. It is 6:30 PM, cooling off, cloudy. As I’ve been uploading pictures and writing this, thunder has started and the clouds have rolled in. We can barely see the Tetons across the lake now. Will post again when we have service.
