JACKSON, WY


Tuesday

Set in a valley south of the majestic Tetons, Jackson is the kind of town that feels like one could ride his horse right up to the bar. In fact, the seats at the local Cowboy Bar are saddles. Antlers gather together in arches around the square, the walkways are made of wooden planks, cowboy hats are sold in each store, and the local food is Buffalo, elk, and moose. Surprisingly there are also several sushi restaurants. Today we visit one of them and are pleased to be enthusiastically provided with oil. Shogun Sushi had been saving their oil for another patron who runs his truck off of veggie oil and therefore had plenty for us to extract.

Afterwards we return to our campsite at Jenny Lake and enjoy a nice walk around the lake. The view of the Tetons is amazing from this area! The huge mountains peak out of the clouds covered in snow, then fan out into canyons, waterfalls and lakes. It is truly beautiful here!
