We began the day like all of our others, with breakfast, but this morning (August 14) we dined at Bubba's, a Jackson Hole landmark. Your faithful blogger was able to get one of his favorites, grits, which made for a great start for his day.
Since we were only traveling 200 miles, we decided to spend some time in Jackson walking around the town and enjoying many of the museums and art shops that make up a large part of the commerce in the town. Jackson is very much alive during the months of June, July and August when the population grows with millions of tourists (That's right, millions) and, of course, bikers, as they work their way through the area headed for Yellowstone, the Tetons and other points of interest. In the winter, it’s a skier’s haven with ski facilities very close to the town.
After spending time looking at the shops, we headed for Rock Springs and made great time. EB took us down a dirt road. Different things were running through the minds of all the riders, especially when we got to the worst part of the road construction. All of our bikes are in need of a bath but once we cleared the construction area, it was clear sailing to Rock Springs.
We headed for the bar (What else?) and after deciding to have dinner at the bar, the rest of the evening was another enjoyable celebration of the day, the things we’d seen and, of course, the libation we were enjoying. Everyone headed to bed early as we plan to be on the road to Moab, Utah, at seven o'clock in the morning.
