Jackson, Wyoming: We woke to a stormy, cold, windy and rainy Jackson! No hiking for us today.
After many days of nature, we were ready for a little city life anyway, and stormy weather is the perfect opportunity to explore downtown Jackson (read that, shop), as nearly every sidewalk is covered. It is either raining, snowing or hot in Jackson, so covered sidewalks are versatile.



Note to self: take two Lipitor tonight.


We spent the afternoon looking through galleries and shops. Jackson has a great variety of shops - and of course, a few tacky souvenir tee-shirt shops. If you are looking for western-themed home decor, Jackson is the place.


So you know how our bus is kinda "Ducked-Out"? Maybe the casual passer-by (and the throngs of people who honk/wave at us on the highway) could think we are big fans of the University of Oregon Ducks? Our neighbors are our Oklahoma State Cowboy doppelgangers. How fun! Plus, they are in a Country Coach Magna! Twins? Sue & Mick live in Stillwater and travel all over the country in their beautiful Magna, and like us, plan their schedule around college athletics. What a great life! Go Cowboys (unless the Cowboys are playing the Ducks, of course).
For dinner tonight, we went to the most popular restaurant in Jackson - the Rendezvous Bistro. Absolutely wonderful. Drinks were perfect, a great wine list and the menu is over-the-top even by big-city standards. We were chatted up by a nice couple from Atlanta and have convinced them Oregon is their next perfect vacation destination, as I continue on my Divine Mission to promote my Great State.

Tomorrow? We hike.
Until my next update, I remain, your Jackson correspondent.
RV Park: The Virginian Lodge RV Resort. Our usual and favorite campsite in Jackson. Nothing fancy at all, and really expensive - but right in town with full-service 50 amp pull throughs. Gravel sites with a picnic table on a little spot of lawn. Hot tub, pool and cafe at the adjacent hotel. Cable, bathhouse & laundry. No wifi that I can find. We are paying $62 per night. Dang.
