Jackson Hole - East Side of the Tetons

Hello everyone. Yesterday we drove from Tensleeps into the east side of the Tetons and then down to Jackson Hole Wyoming. The three peaks of the Tetons (south, middle, and grand) were named "Les Trois Tetons" by french trappers, and means "the three breast". but were called the "hoary headed fathers" by the Indians. Just a little history lesson = ) The drive was incredible, all though there is some costruction on the roads that made for rough traveling and had shut us out of the campsite we had intended to stay at (Fall Creek). We drove into some weather so decided since we could not get a very good view of the Tetons in this weather that we would ride out the storm in Jackson Hole. We checked out the town, a very cute but expensive Western Town. In one store (where no pictures were allowed)we saw a real stuffed polar bear on sale for $35, 000. The picture of the arch around Sandy and I, is an arch made of antlers. The rain let up for a bit and the sun peaked through, while we were walking through town and Sandy yelled at me to see the double rainbow that stretched accross the sky. The picture makes it difficult to see the second, but it was there and it was just a beautiful sight! There were no any campsites in Jackson Hole so we decided to try and sleep in a grocery store parking lot (Alberstons). We stopped and parked on the street near a closed internet cafe so we could check e-mail and update the blog last night...it was dark and we kind of felt creepy sitting in the dark on the computer like that = ) makes me laugh thinking about it now = ) we then restocked our ice, rented a dvd for $1 out of those rental machines they have now, and sat in the van while it rained and wathced "What stays in Vegas" = ) Such luxuary!!!! We were lucky and did not get chased off. We were able sleep all night, I(Sam) woke up and went for a run in the 47 degree weather = ) and then we woke up and went to the public restrooms back in town to get cleaned up and changed. Right now we are just finishing up some laundry and about to hit the road again. The west side of the Tetons are said to be the best view and we are both very excited. After that...its off into Yellowstone National Park!!! We love and miss you all!!!! Hope everyone is well!!!!
