Hillclimbs, sunsets and moonrises

This morning we left Meridian at 7:30 and headed for Driggs, ID. The Northwest Hillclimb Association was running their event in the Tetons this weekend and we were off to spectate on our way to Jackson Hole. We got into Driggs around 1:30 and after a quick stop at the hotel headed in search of the hillclimb route. The main cross street in town heads up to the Alta ski resort which is where the event was taking place. After running up some pretty good twisties we finally found the starting line with a bunch of local traffic waiting to go up. We got in line and just a few minutes later we were up at the resort. We caught the next shuttle down to turn 7 and found a spot on the hill overlooking the corner for pics. We got to see a bunch of run groups come up although we missed some of the more interesting hardware that had run earlier in the day (GT3 and RS4). On our way back from the races we stopped at an overlook and got our first real pics of the Tetons. Tomorrow we'll swap to the other side
Driggs is not exactly a large town so finding a place to eat on a Sunday night can be tricky. Google knows all though and we found the Warbirds Cafe at the local airport and it seemed to have some interesting cuisine for what we thought would be a typical airport cafe. The Cafe turned out to be one of the best restaurants we've dined at in awhile... fried artichokes for an appetizer and Danielle had a buffalo burger and I had pan seared pork tenderloin. Everything, including the fresh made lemonade, was fantastic.
We made it back to the hotel and enjoyed a great sunset from our room and just as we thought we were done taking pictures we saw the moon rising over the Tetons so we had to get some pics of that too :)
Tomorrow we head over Jackson Pass for a full day in the Tetons. Russ should catch up with us sometime tomorrow afternoon too. We're hoping for clear skies and some star trail and moon shots tomorrow night.
