The Tetons


Friday we rolled out of Meridian headed for the Tetons. The weather through Idaho was fantastic and we covered the 400 miles with few problems. Just before the I-84/I-86 interchange we picked up a hitch hiker, YMEEE. She was one of those drivers that is unable to drive on their own so she latched onto us and paced us, even when we slowed below 50mph (in a 75) she slowed right with us. So I took a bunch of pictures before she broke off for Ogden :) The Jackson Pass was clear with dry pavement although there was certainly plenty of snow in the Tetons. We're staying at Dornan's just outside of the main park entrance and within walking distance to the Snake River. A much nicer place to crash for a few days than in town. We did venture into Jackson Hole to hit Bubbas for dinner, fantastic BBQ.

I despise people who do that. Even worse is when you overtake someone slow only to have them speed up and pass you, then slow down again... rinse and repeat until you want to strangle something.
