August 2 - Jackson, WY

​We woke up to a bit of rain, which made it a good morning to go to a yoga class. We hadn't done yoga since crossing the Mississippi River. Our stiff and cramped muscles were crying for some good stretching and exertion. We found a Vinyasa class in Jackson. It was expensive, but restorative. Afterwards were relaxed and energized, basking in the afterglow as we had coffee and a breakfast burrito at an outdoor table and the skies had cleared a bit while we were in class.

Although the dogs weren't allowed in any park we saw in Jackson, we were able to find a field adjacent to a hotel parking lot where we could play fetch with the dogs. We ran their butts ragged and they were delighted. A tired border collie is a happy border collie.

We were contemplating a bike ride along the multi-use trail from Jackson to Lake Jenny, but clouds moved in again. So we hunkered down in the trailer to catch up on the blog, while waiting for clear skies before driving to an overlook above the Snake River where Ansel Adams had photograhed the Tetons.  We only got partial clearing, so we headed back into town to give the dogs more exercise and to grab an early dinner at the Silver Dollar Saloon. We had to rush through the end of our meal as we noticed a thunderstorm moving in fast. There was some some very dramatic lighting over the sagebrush on the drive home causing our poor dogs to hunkered down in fright.
