***Miles travelled today: Don't know - again... didn't write them down!!
***Total Miles:
***States travelled through: Stayed in Wyoming...
So - we left Jackson early this morning - we had packed up and we were in the car by 07h30!!! and went off to the 'Mangy Moose' again for breakfast - where we also finally took the opportunity to write up some post cards!!! The cards were finally posted - at Moose Post Office... where Jay actually got to 'frank' them herself - as she was asked if she wanted to 'Moose 'em!!!' So the cards that have been sent today will have been franked by Jay!!!
We left the Grand Teton National Park... unfortunately the skies were really cloudy - so we did not get any more of the reflections opportunities... but we stopped off at Jackson lake lodge, which is where the first few photos are taken... we drove through the eastern side of Yellowstone National Park -although we weren't looking for adventure or photo opportunities as we were needing to make our way to the 'Dude Ranch'... where we finally arrived at about 15h30... we are in for an interesting few days!!! (...although there are a couple of photos, including a hot bed lake, as well as one out of the windscreen as we were travelling through the Red Rock Canyon... we have a few days in Yellowstone early next week in which to explore!!!)
We have a serious cabin in the woods... and Jay has bought every single mosquito repellent on the market... including... wait for it... a bandana with insect repellent incorporated into the fabric... which can last up to 70 washes!!! But knowing Jay - it is a bandana with class...
...anyway - we have just had a cook out - done by the chef and the ranch wranglers or cowboys and we have been sitting chatting to a couple of real cowboys... one, the chef, who is actually called Cody... is 71 years old... and talks about his mother teaching him how to ride when he was four... he was telling us the difference in the cowboys as apparently dependent on the state they originate from makes them different kinds of cowboys... although he was insistent that the 'true' cowboy is one from Wyoming!!!
We are off on a four hour ride tomorrow... and dependent on how ones butt may feel at the end of it - we are also booked on for the next day as well... we shall have to wait and see... but we are looking forward to it...
... one of the wranglers is outside at the moment showing off his roping skills and Jay is having a look see!!!
...so we are off for an early night tonight... and cannot wait for tomorrow!!!
25 past midnight :-)
