No Time To Blog---Busy Days

We started the day with a stunningly beautiful (and mostly flat) 18 mile bike ride, and then 

we took a 3 mile hike along a babbling brook, which was actually screaming about the snowmelt.

We ended at peaceful Taggert Lake. Well, it was only 3 pm, so we continued down the road (by car) into Jackson, WY. You know, where the rich and famous go.

Lots of galleries of beautiful, expensive, and unusual western art. This Christmas tree is made of Elk horn---- $1200.    There were fossils embedded in rock for up to $100,000.00 

We had to have a beer in the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. The entire bar top is embedded with real silver dollars. Yee Haa!  We went to the Snake River Brewery for dinner and then went home and collapsed.

The next day we hiked 9 miles round trip to Hermitage Point on Jackson Lake. Very pretty, and pretty hot.

A view along the hike...

We took an early evening boat cruise on Jackson Lake, which the narrator said is rising 10 inches a day from the snow melt! This lake is 85 square miles---a lot of snow melt!  The narrator also told us that two weeks ago 3 skiers spent 8 hours climbing the glacier 2000 feet up to the snow chute at the top between the two horns at the top. They skied down the 60 degree slope (!) in 20 minutes.
 This time we went to dinner at the nearby restaurant and went home and collapsed-again.
This vacationing is exhausting!!!
