Day 48, August 1, Twin Bridges to Jackson, MT

Today has been pretty uneventful, thus far. Andy had a heck of a time getting me out of my "burrito" state this morning, but eventually I arose by the time he pretty much had everything else together. Thanks babe.

We went over to the Blue Arrow Cafe/Saloon, where everything was blue and reminded me a bit of a ladies' powder room that had been decorated in the late 70s. The breakfast was good however, and we ended up talking to a skinny, hunched over guy from Denver who was up here fishing, but seemed pretty interested in our trip between his various cell phone calls.

We got on our way about 8:30 and have now made it 30 miles to Dillon (still 50 to go). We went to a most majestic Safeway for their incredible lunch specials and eventually decided on some yogurt, a HUGE submarine sandwich, bananas, and a quart of OJ.

The town is pretty big, about 6000 people, and seems like a pretty swell place, but so far we have seen about 5 casinos, and are not sure what that is all about.

We've got some serious climbs for the remainder of the day, but hopefully in Jackson we will get to relax in their hot springs which comes out at 140 degrees! Fortunately, they mix it with the pool water first. PHew!

All for now, until next week probably. We hopefully will be in/near Missoula MT (where there is a Hells Angels gathering) by Sunday night.

LOVE to all! Looking forward to seeing all west coast parties!

Hey Guys, when you get back home, if like us, you will say to yourselves: Why didn't I absorb it more. And it will all seem like a dream. On our first trip West, we stayed in a Sheridan motel and went swiming in the outdoor pool. The next day the town had 12 inches of snow. It was Sept. I hope you will be following the Columbia river into Portland. I think Lewis and Clark did. Love,
Granddad
