We made it to our first destination, Jackson, WY, which I have been to once in Spring of 2000 to go skiing. While it was beautiful covered in snow, I must say it is even more amazing during the summer. The mountains, forests, and streams seem to be more vibrant when not covered by a stark, uniform whiteness. While on the road, we saw a variety of wildlife: a coyote, a chipmunk, many prong horned deer, prarie dogs, and multiple birds of prey. This also contributes to the living quality of the terrain.
Once we arrived in Jackson, we had a wonderful dinner at a place called Thai Me Up (no it is not a bondage bar, but rather one of the best Thai food places I have ever experienced). Jenny and I are both excited to be here, and we are looking forward to more exploration tomorrow.
On a side note, we have not had much luck with small town fast food establishments. We stopped at a McDonald's to get a couple of iced mochas. Well, I thought we were going to be trapped in there forever. My first indication that this might be the world's slowest fast food establishment was the guy waiting by the counter for 20 minutes for a milkshake. Not a good sign. There were two people taking orders, one who clearly was another relative of the Dairy Queen inbreeding crowd and the other who appeared to be a meth addict. Anyway, we finally get our drinks. I think these mochas had to be the strongest coffee drinks we have ever had. I am curious if that is normal. We plan on experimenting at a later date.
