we're going to jackson!

last night the cool bus cruised into jackson, wy. we caught up with a friend josh who used to work in keystone, co. he and his 6 mo. yr old son haden have been nice enough to show us around the area. we had many options as what we could do today; kayak one of many rivers around jackson, explore the grand tetons, explore yellowstone, visit the hot springs, skate around jackson, play some disc golf, etc. . . . we narrowed today down to. . . . up by 8 am to began the day hiking the tetons; hiked up to the hidden falls, a nice 5 mile round trip hike. great views and beautiful mountains and wildlife. after the hike we played a nice round of disc golf, up at jackson hole ski resort. a fun course, with great views of the area. we made it back to jackson, where josh and haden cooked dinner for us. thanks friend. we now are headed south to the hot springs to camp for the evening. tomorrow we will make our way back towards colorado after getting the boats in the river . . . .


ps. . . the group really wanted to spend some time in yellowstone. the decision was made with our economic situation in mind, and the fact that to truly experience yellowstone we would need to dedicate 3-5 days to explore the great park, we will do it next time!
after our hike, staley took a great pic

From Ben's Aunt Michelle,

Oh how I envy y'all. ENJOY this trip and relish the memories. The Cool Bus will go down in infamy and hopefully have many more miles left in her for a few more amazing adventures.

Thanks for sharing it with us all.

Be safe and have a blast!

Darrell and Michelle

that child looks scared out of his mind on your back... just an observation.

Hey, that moose is always there. I saw her in July just south of the Jenny Lake boathouse. I don't think the kid was with her, though.
