"The mountains are calling, and I must go." - John Muir
Today was a much easier travel day. It only took 8 hours to get from Laramie to Jackson with stops along the way.
As soon as we left Laramie, we could see mountains. It was a welcome site since yesterday all we saw was flat farmland. You can see a fence that catches the snow drifts to keep them off the roads in the winter.
We visited two brewpubs yesterday. The first one was Bitter Creek in Rock Springs, WY and the second was Snake River Brewing in Jackson, WY. Drew had a great porter at Bitter Creek and Ashleigh had their Root Beer which was awesome. At Snake River, Drew had the OB-1 which was cask conditioned and their Pale Ale.
Zoe and Riley travelled so well getting out here. We decided to stop at the Forks River and let them fetch sticks. Yes, that is Riley with the stick in his mouth. He only fetches sticks and prefers to be swimming when fetching. The water was not nearly as cold as we expected being that it is run off from the snow.
The Grand Tetons are the snow covered mountains in the background. Jackson is at 10, 450 ft so we drink plenty of water and take Tylenol for the altitude headaches.
When we got into Jackson, they were having Old West Days. We got a corn cob that was coated in butter, dry parmesan cheese, and cajun seasoning. It was delicious!
