Jackson Hole

The Jackson Hole KOA actually looked a little better by day, but a KOA RV park just the same. We got ourselves cleaned up and drove the few miles up to Teton Village (Jackson Hole ski resort) to meet Jill, Andrew, Madeline and George White. We took a nice hike up one of the main ski runs which gave us a beautiful view of the mountains, village and surrounding valley. It's been pretty hard to find a bad place to hike or just look around on this trip. After an hour or so hiking we drove down into Jackson to visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art which was amazing. Take a look at that link to get an idea, but even the building itself was a work of art. The kids had a blast in the museum's Children's Discovery center which made the outing very enjoyable for the whole crew while one adult stood watch with the kids while the rest toured the galleries.

From there we went into town for some lunch at the "New York City Sub" shop which did the trick before a little shopping around Jackson. The highlight was definitely the Images of Nature Gallery, full of amazing photos by Thomas D. Maglesen.

At about 4 it was time to say our sad good-bye's to the Whites and hit the road for the first of two big legs on the trek home. We got to Provo, Utah about midnight for our final KOA visit of the trip. The sewer connections at the Provo KOA are not to be missed.
