Hello!
I took sooooo many pictures and videos in Yellowstone that they won't all fit in one blog post. So here are the photos from the first part of the day - driving from Dubois to Jackson, which is a town in the Jackson Hole valley in Teton County just before you get into Yellowstone. I totally fell in love with this place and rang Stef to tell him I wanted to live there ("They even have a wellness and yoga center and a couple of theaters we could run!") and then found out that basically only millionaires can afford to live there. That last part I haven't told Stef yet, but he'll laugh when he reads it, because I have incredibly expensive taste in everything and hey - who knew - apparently it even extends to land prices! Damn.
On the way to Jackson we listened to a free CD made by Wyoming D.O.T. which had ditties and stories about Wyoming, and was pretty interesting! From it we learned that The Town of Jackson elected the first all-female city council in the US, in 1920. Go, Jackson!

| Driving from Dubois, this was the kind of view the day started with. It was just a taste of things to come. |
 |
| There are the Tetons in the distance! |
 |
| Little car, big country. |
 |
| Tetons and cows. |
 |
| One of my first attempts using the panoramic setting on the iPhone. These are the Tetons. |
 |
| Getting closer! |
 |
| While out taking photos I got snow in my hiking boots (I hadn't bothered to tie the laces) so this is me walking along a wall holding one boot and sock to air them out to dry. Which, I might add, occurred in less than 10 minutes, because the air was so dry. The Irish girl in me was rather dumbfounded and amazed at this. Dry boots after 10 mins?! Wowza! |
 |
| A lake just outside Jackson. |
 |
| Very cute western style boarded sidewalks in Jackson |
 |
| There are actually a couple of theaters in Jackson, which is kind of amazing for a town of 9,000 people. |
 |
| Antler arch. At first I was quite horrified at this, thinking that all these deer had been killed just for this arch, but apparently these are not uncommon in this part of the country - people find these shed antlers around the place and make stuff from them. And there are a lot of deer so a lot of antlers. |
