Richard & Sylvia's RV Adventures

Day 67 Monday, May 7, 2007 Late Morning and Afternoon

After returning to the campground about 10:00 from my early morning photo shoot all four of us got in the car for a sight seeing trip to Jackson WY and on to see the Snake River (Evil Knivel jumped) and the Tetons. 

Here’s our traveling companions, Andy and Emily.

We stopped many times along the way to marvel at the beauty of the landscape and took many pictures.  We stopped at Jenny Lake, a mountain lake created by glaciers 200 feet deep and clear as glass. 

Above, this is a photo of Jenny Lake and next one is of Jackson Lake.

We all wanted to see Eagles, Elk, Buffalo and Moose.  We were fortunate to see all the animals including a baby Buffalo except a Moose although we traveled through Moose Junction(-:  To be lucky enough to see a moose we decided we would all have to think Moose and one or more might appear.  I think we may have been in the wilderness too long, what do you think?    We also stopped and took pictures at the point were Ansel Adams took his famous pictures of the Grand Tetons, at the Snake River Overlook. 

We had a very late lunch in Jackson at Bubba’s BBQ place – and he did do justice to the BBQ.

Upon returning to the campground we all had a long nap to recouperated from our exciting day.  Later on we had a chance to talk to the folks that ran the campground.  They were part of a workcamper program where they work 20 hours per week for a free campsite.  This is usually a seasonal employment but there are year round work camp sites.  Hmh…You get to stay for free in this beautiful place…..might be worth pursuing in the future.
