July 3, 2006 – Day 7 - 270 Miles Jackson Hole, WY to Lovell, WY
Jackson Hole, WY to Lovell, WY
Left Jackson Hole about 8:00 a.m. and up Hwy89 past the Grand Teton NP and into Yellowstone NP.
Grand Tetons - One of the most photographed scenes in America...and always beautiful.
Equally pretty in the rearview mirror.
What does one say about Yellowstone which hasn’t already been over-written about? Man, is that a special place. We toured through from the south entrance to Fishing Bridge, went to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, backtracked again to Fishing Bridge then took the East Exit to Cody.
Yours truly in Yellowstone
The irrepressible Bobby J at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
In Cody we went to the Buffalo Bill Museum. There was an excellent presentation based upon the lives of Plains Indians, and an out-of-sight exhibit of Remington and Russell paintings and sculptures. (Man, I hate people with talent)
Left Cody and met up with Bob’s cowboy friends in Lovell, WY. I can’t say enough about how wonderful these people are, and how they welcomed a, later, somewhat inebriated guitar player into their home and family. It was a hoot!! We played music for at least fours hours, doing, as they say...every song Hank Williams ever wrote. Plus a couple he didn’t. One of the hits of the evening was one written by Jerry O. , a friend of mine from Dallas, called, “Get off the table, Mabel, that there money’s for the beer.” Of course, that was after several cans or bottles of lubricating fluid.
