This sign was over the door at a gas station/restaurant/liquor store/convience store/information center.
We took a scenic route again today, Route 191 for over 100 miles. The Grand Tetons were gorgeous to look at. This morning, a hotel clerk told everyone to be careful hiking because yesterday in Yellowstone a man was hiking with his wife and came upon a female grizzly bear and her two cubs. She killed the man. It was the first time a bear has killed anyone in Yellowstone since 1986. A short distance outside of Jackson or Jackson Hole (It was explained to me that the town used to be called Jackson Hole but the town leaders decided to change it to Jackson & the surrounding areas called Jackson Hole) A trucker had stopped along side of the road. He was looking a the biggest moose that I have ever seen. We stopped and after taking some pictures, it finally hit us that it was a fake. I wonder how many people think that they saw a real moose there.
In Farson, WY we ate lunch at Mitch's Cafe. The locals said that it was not only the best place to eat but the only place to eat. The population was 368. Ray said that it was the best hamburger he had eaten in a long time. It was a 3rd generation restaurant and had just good ole home cookin'. After we hit I-80 the landscape started to change to a more desert like appearance. The mountains disappeared for a while too. At the end of our ride, we ran in to a little rain but we made it to dinner and back before the big storms came.
We have driven just about 10,000 miles now. The only car issue today was that Jim had to use his reserve gas today to make it to an exit where there was gas. Tomorrow will be a short ride. We will be in Denver & are looking forward to seeing John & Marcia (son & daughter-in-law).
