It Stoned Me





Woke up at Bear Lake and Ziggy and I took a long walk around the camp and she got to play in the sprinklers . We packed up and drove off passing through Montpelier, Idaho where Butch Cassidy had robbed the bank years before.

We drove through some cute towns and one had the world's largest arch made of elk horns. Also passed through Jackson which we returned to visit a few days later. We arrived at our new home a few miles from Grand Teton National Park. The campground looked a little tired and the large number of ground squirrels popping up from their holes made me uneasy, but the place worked out fine. Ziggy stuck her nose down many a hole and never got bit and the squirrels went about their business without bothering us. We did not have internet service and that was disappointing, but the beauty of the area made up for everything.

After settling in we took a drive into Teton NP. We saw beavers and a herd of elk at one of the first lookouts. We headed up the road to the Jackson Lake Lodge for a late dinner. They have a fine dining room here, but we ate in the grill which is a large room with only counter seating and a lighter menu. The hot fudge sundaes are worth the calories.
