In Jackson WY

The four days we spent camping with my folks were rainy but fun. We ended up moving spots after two nights in hopes of out smarting the storm. After much wondering and staring at maps, we finally ended up in the flat tops, just outside of Yampa, where we had spent the previous spring camping together. This camp site was in the trees, so although we did not out run the storm we were better sheltered from it. We enjoyed two lazy days here before parting company.

Once on our own, Pat and I headed strait to Steam Boat to re-load on supplies and soak/shower at the hot springs. We then drove just outside town to camp for the night before heading to Wyoming to play in the Tetons. We found a dirt road out of Criag in BLM land to call home for the night. It was exciting to finally make use of our 4 wheel drive! This is where the weather started to turn and it has been sunshine ever sense.

In the morning we packed up and headed for the Tetons. I had planed a route off the beaten path into Jackson. The map said that the road we would be taking was a 'main connector', so I figured it would get us where we were going. We soon learned that 'main connector' in Wyoming does not necessarily mean paved. We wondered our way thought the country and camped  in the Bridger-Tetons National Forest in a great little spot all to our selves. The idea was that today we could continue our drive over a pass in the national forest and into Jackson. However, the dirt road became covered with snow once we started to gain altitude. So we turned around and took the main highway into town this morning.

Once we have everything we need in town we will head into Idaho for a few nights... Due to all the snow that has yet to melt, both hiking and fishing is a bit challenging. But we are enjoying the wilderness and each other. We have decided that taking our time as we head north makes the most sense as the snow still needs time to melt.
