Any day that ends in Jackson Hole WY is a magnificent day. And that's a good thing because riding out of any major city entails a long ride on a dreaded interstate highway with its attendant noise, trucks, construction, fumes, bad drivers and just general nastiness. But after about an hour Beth and I cleared the last suburb of Salt Lake City in Logan UT and entered the Wasatch Mountauns. And as soon as we did we were mesmerized - 2 lanes of good road running deep between the mountain foothills next to a crystal clear river that made you want to go down there and take a drink. It was a georgeous day.
As we continued into the mountains we hit these beautiful world class plains and vistas. This is amazing country.
We made it to Idaho (but missed the Salmon BBQ by a day - see photo above) and then into Jackson in time for lunch. The Million Dollar Cowboy bar was the choice so we sat in saddles and ate (food was so so at best). I went to the park across the street and just laid down in the beautiful grass and actually took a nap while Beth went exploring.
We went to a church service in Jackson and then crash for the night in a B&B in Victor ID. I can't wait until tomorrow!!
Enjoying reading about your journey!
