Day 4 - We're kind of dirty and delusional...

Grand Girls in front of the Grand Tetons

We indeed survived our night of camping…even Jolea. After rolling out of camp we toured the Tetons popping off at many scenic overlooks and trying to find the elusive Moose. We stopped at Jenny Lake where Jessica suggested we take a boat trip across the lake…about halfway there, she says, “So what do we do when we get over there?” Something that should have perhaps been researched before we got on said boat, because basically you hike on the other side of Jenny Lake and Brea and Jessica were wearing flip flops. We still managed to do about a mile hike to another fantastic (although not as fantastic as Yellowstone’s) waterfall.



We then headed into Jackson where we had lunch at the Cadillac Grill. Jessica and Brea dined on a Buffalo burger, mostly because Brea was still bitter about the hellacious herd of buffalo from the day before (and she hates CU). We then saddled up (literally) to the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar where we requested a local brew to slam back before hitting the road again (don’t worry parents, Jolea drank water). Brea was bummed when she realized her local brew was brewed in Idaho. Idaho? No, you da ho.


How gorgeous is this?

We journeyed through the Wind Rivers into Lander and along the way found the elusive Moose on the side of the road completing our animal quest. We also stopped in beautiful Dubois where we sat on the Jackalope…Jolea calls it mangy, Brea calls it fun.

This is about when the delusional portion of the title comes in because Jessica was crazy. She started a game of 20 questions and some of the fabulous questions included:

Is it bigger than an ipod nano?

Once in Lander we headed to our friend Heather’s house in the middle of nowhere. We love small towns when directions include phrases like “just a few properties after the junk yard.” We headed to dinner with Heather and James at the lovely Lander bar and got a private tour of Heather’s museum, the Fremont County Pioneer Museum. It wasn’t as interesting as the movie Night at the Museum, but we did see a 2-headed sheep. All and all a nice and scenic day…we turned in for the night and tried for a good night’s sleep since it was almost our last day...and we still had ambitious plans.
