June 25th ~ Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Paris Tabernacle ~ Paris, Idaho
A beautiful day to drive this gorgeous land. Weather in the high 70’s, an occasional puffy cloud, brilliant sunshine, and photo shopped scenery to put huge smiles on our faces.
Here’s a tiny peek into our day:
This church has seen better days
Salt River Pass
Afton, Wyoming – World’s largest Elkhorn Arch
Rafting down the Snake River
Grand Teton Mountains and wild flowers
Overnight: Gros Ventre Campground, Jackson, Wyoming
GRATITUDE MOMENT: Today I am grateful that Tim had solar panels installed on our RV. We are in a beautiful campground, surrounded by trees and nature, but no electricity or water hookups. Not to worry, we are well set up to be able to dry camp for several days without any inconveniences!
A Note From Abroad 
Somewhere in that region is a little town called Hole in the Wall where Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, as well as other renowned outlaws would regularly hold up. Perhaps you’ll run across it. What’s neat about that region is that you can still find places where the ruts of the covered wagons are still evident. I couldn’t believe it. Lots of history out that way.

We passed by a sign for the Butch Cassidy Museum on our way here but did not stop. And you are right – so much history here.

I’m living vicariously through you! My hub doesn’t retire for a few more years, so we have traveling on hold.

I hope you can get on the road ASAP. It is a big world with many, many wonders to see. But in the meantime, we are so happy that we can bring a few small chunks of it to you. Thank you!

Your post is getting me excited about an upcoming trip (in 2 weeks) to Jackson Hole area and National Parks. The photo of wild flowers and Grand Teton range is particularly nice.

We are planning on spending time at Jenny Lake in the Teton’s today. It rained on and off last night, so we will see how it looks this morning. This area is so pretty!

Good to see you have solar ! We haven’t hooked up to power for 2 months now. But that’s in the North with no need for air conditioning. I bet you are enjoying the moderate temperatures in the Tetons.

A refreshing change coming from temps in the high 90’s to low 100’s in Southern Utah!

I’m still enjoying travelling with you two…Brings all the early cowboy films I saw in my teens to mind. More for the rocking chair days…

Beautiful country. Your photos are fantastic. Did you go white water rafting, or just observe? I love old buildings, so the picture of the old, worn out church, appeals to me. I like to imagine the stories they could tell if the walls could talk.

No, we have not gone white water rafting, but have considered taking a gentle float trip in warmer weather. Thanks for the compliment. And yes, the old buildings are so interesting.

I have gone white water rafting a couple of times and really enjoyed it. Gently floating trips are nice too! A lot less dangerous and a whole lot more calming.

Yes, gentle and calming is more my speed these days 😳

Oh what a wonderful post with beautiful pictures and reports of delightful temperatures! Brings back great memories of a years ago visit!
Maybe I missed it in previous posts, but I didn’t realize you had installed solar. Does it run everything but your AC/heat? Gives you great flexibility in nice weather!

We can run our heater (propane) but not A/C. Also can not use the microwave or electric outlets for my Instapot or hair dryer as those are high draw items. But we can flip the generator on for a short time if needed for those items.

Great stuff, and that generator comes in handy for specific uses!
