Welcome back to Jackson


As I signed off the last post we saw this in the distance. Cool. Lets go see that. If we were 30 minutes later we would have fully missed this. It is called Chimney Rock and we ended up camping underneath it that night. What a stroke of luck to wake up to this awesome piece of nature.
look close you just see a spire in the distance.



During the drive Lisa learned a bit about the elusive Jackalope and it was total luck that we came across a life size jackalope for a picture. 

We are back in Jackson for the next few days. This area is so pretty it was a shame not to take Lisa back to it. We finally made it through 'the suck' (midwest corn states) and came into Jackson via Casper on Hwy 26.
Because
This took us up through the Tetons. The Tetons are amazing.

The view definitely doesn't suck.
We arrived back into town in the afternoon and had an invitation from Wendell, the local area trailbuilder to stay at his place. Before we hit his place we did a short laundromat run. Everything into one big load.. and now everything is blotchy because the last load had bleach in it that didn't get rinsed out correctly. Great.

We crashed at Wendell's that evening. It is getting cold! Temps are now dropping to 1 degree and then daily highs back to 28. The next morning we did a 20 mile single track ride up in the forest behind Wendell and Rachel's place. Pretty cool area that you can just ride behind his house and have this terrain available to you.


Lisa and I did a little sightseeing in town that day and she wanted her picture under the dead animal hair.
We feasted that night.










Today we are heading up the Teton Pass to do an 8500 foot ride.
