One word: WYOMING. Once we got underway driving from Gillette, we couldn't help but fall completely in love with the state of Wyoming. Every time we thought we saw big mountains, we would turn the corner and see even bigger ones. Perhaps my favorite part about driving into Jackson Hole, which, for those of you unaware, is the bustling little town that sits just outside of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, is that there is no interstate that leads there. We were forced to take Route 16 the "Scenic Bi-Way", which wound us in between and over mountains, through canyons, past the smallest of small Wyoming towns, finally circling into Jackson. When we entered into the Grand Tetons at around 5pm, we were met with rainy weather. But, it was ok because the rain allowed me to take this picture:
Ridiculous, no? We have decided that tomorrow we will return to this road and get the views we may have missed from the cloud cover - we'll have to just suffer driving through this miserable place again. ;-)
Tomorrow we are spending the day driving up through all of the Tetons and Yellowstone and settling in the small town of Bozeman, Montana for the evening. Be prepared for some serious pictures and hysterical babble about how friggin beautiful everything is.
