Jackson Time

Road Trip! I took off Friday morning, heading for my summer job at Teton Valley Ranch Camp as a camp nurse. Check out the camp here: http://www.tvrcamp.org to see what it's all about. Bye Arizona! (For now).

I tend to always drive by scenic/historic turn-offs but I decided to finally go see this. 

I'm glad I did because it was awesome. Housing in the side of a mountain. Looked like the world's first (and strongest) condo community.  http://www.nps.gov/moca/historyculture/index.htm - another historical reason why Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite President of all time. Plus, he carried a big stick. 

I had taken the North Rim drive the last time I went to Wyoming so I chose the South Rim this time - MUCH better scenic drive, I think. No offense, city of Page. This bridge was amazing. 

How'd you like to go swimming in the green water? Looks totally healthy. 

The next few hours weren't as exciting, although I do love driving through the little towns at the southern part of Utah. They have a LOT of character. I found this for you, bro. Although the house looks to be quite the fixer-upper.

I drove through what seemed like 70 miles of construction before I found the Holiday Inn Express. Let's face it, hotel options are numerous but who has cinnamon rolls like they do? I mean, seriously, they make me actually want to wake up in the morning. That's saying something. This is the view from the hotel parking lot. Yep, that's snow. Pray for me. 

Driving past SLC (which ALWAYS makes me think Punk), I remembered where I went for lunch last year in Park City. It's called Leger's Deli and if you're ever in Park City, try it out. They make the biggest sandwiches you've ever seen. I love egg salad, and this is only a HALF sandwich. 

Yes, I took a picture of my sandwich. It was that good. I sat at a scenic overlook and ate it, totally ignoring the scenic overlook. Yum. 

I saw this sign three different times. 

Utah to Wyoming to Idaho to Wyoming to Idaho and then back into Wyoming. Totally normal.

Their roads might be silly but it sure is pretty here. Although this sign is just plain crazy. 

The bird broke the sign's heart? Or a dove will patch the broken heart of a sign? What does this MEAN?!

Aw, doesn't lil Zip look so cute next to the forest? That still has SNOW in it, but I digress.

Anyway, I finally got to Jackson Hole, where I got a hotel room and then proceeded to spend an exorbitant  amount of money on a pair of Lucchese black boots. I consider them to be an INVESTMENT because they're fancy and I'll have them forever. So shush. They are the most comfortable things ever too.  Well, they ought to be right? They're currently in safe keeping in the trunk of my car but here's what they look like:

Oh yeah! I almost forgot, I met a bear already! Hahahahah

Talk to you again real soon!
