God was at His finest when he made Jackson, WY

We came through the most breathtaking place I've ever seen today. It is Jackson (Hole) Wyoming. The name of the valley is Jackson Hole but the actual town itself is Jackson. It is absolutely the prettiest place. The only problem was that there is some sort of bike race going on and there are NO rooms in Jackson. No, of course we didn't have reservations. That's the point of our whole trip, right?!!! After getting a bit panicky, we heard about a place called Alpine, not sure if its Wyoming or Idaho or Montana, but they had rooms! So here we are in the midst of real cowboys, moose, black bear and a knotty pine room at the Bull Moose Lodge. It is actually a nice place. We are in the dining room now since no wifi in the rooms. We just had our dinner of chicken fried steak and will now go back to our knotty pine room and get some rest!
This bike race is something else. We saw bicycle riders for miles and miles and miles. I loosely counted over 500 riders. Don't know how they get up these steep steep mountain roads, but they do.
Tomorrow we plan to see Yellowstone for the first time for both of us. We are not far from one of the entrances now. But so as not to repeat our panic of today with no rooms available, we have already gotten a reservation in West Yellowstone Montana for tomorrow night. We plan to go up into Montana and see the Little Big Horn and other sites in Montana.
We are still just absolutely having a ball. We are like a couple kids, it's really fun!
Jim and Gail, this GPS lady is really something. She puts us such at ease and we trust her faithfully to get us where we want to go. She is so cute when we get off the road, she says to make a U turn and go back!! But she "recalculates" and gets us right back on track again. Thanks again so much for loaning it to us, it's great.
Going to post some pictures now and another blog tomorrow.
Bye for now..........Wayne and Colleen
