Jackson

Lazy start to the day. Breakfast. Picked up some skis and headed off ski touring to Taggart lake in the Grand Teton National Park. At the end – bollocksed.

Evening in the Snake River Brewery. Rack of ribs and a few home brewed beers. Nice, very nice. Oh, and a final sharpner listening to Country and Western in the Silver Dollar bar.




















Wendover to Jackson


Wind. Non stop wind. Howling, bitter and frozen.

Stopped at the Bonneville salt-flats where the Yaris naturally broke all land speed records, but, unfortunately, they only set up the race way in the Summer. So this must enter the records as an unofficial record. Extraordinary geography. A crystal white land. Inhospitable. Beautiful. Cruel.

Then east via Salt Lake City.

Julia insisted, for once I am not joking, that I visit the Hill AFB museum. An aviation museum. Was even free entry!

Then North on Interstate 15 into Idaho.

Right at Idaho Falls to Wyoming. Arriving early evening in Jackson.

The news has constantly reported blizzards and extreme weather conditions. So far we have had pretty good weather

Mileage: 460 miles
