Day 5, Friday July 2nd

In the cool of the early morning, as we left Yellowstone, we could see clouds of steam billowing from geysers and hot springs all around us. Our motor coach carried us on to Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, with its saw-toothed 13,500 foot ridges, crested with snow (in July). In the afternoon, we took a leisurely ten-mile float trip down the Snake River, with the silhouette of the Grand Teton mountain range in the distance.

That evening, we arrived in Jackson - a town still very much in the old Wild Wild West. At dinner time, we boarded covered wagons and ventured into the back country. We were attacked by wild Indians, but saved by Cowboys who drove them off. Arriving safely, we sat down to a cook-out barbecue dinner and were treated to an after dinner show - Wild West style! Ken was selected from the audience to take part in the show.
