Dubois is a very laid back western town along the Wind River. The cowboy cafe that we ate at last night was very lively and came recommended by the host at our motel. We stopped in a trading post with an attached gallery that just happened to still be open. The artist collects elk sheds and carves animals like bears, wolves, and horses in the antlers. Incredible work.
I would be posting pictures but I'm having a problem uploading from my iPad. I have to admit that being in the wilderness is beautiful and relaxing but I do miss running water, hot showers, a dry bed, and modern technology. Jack even admitted he's getting tired of tent camping.
We'll be out of reach again for a few days but I'll post when I can.
You are really seeing the country as you should but you can have the camping in the rain! Sounds like you are having a wonderful time experiencing the beauty the west has to offer. We loved The Jackson Hole area and Grand Tetons when we did the BMMC motorcycle trip last summer. Keep spraying on the bear repellant!
ReplyDeleteLove it. Be safe you guys! Ditto to what Leslie said- keep that bear repellent going and bang those bear bells while hiking!
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, you spray the bear spray at the bear, like pepper spray, not on yourself!
ReplyDeleteMike and I talked about renting an RV next time we camp. Camping in a tent is great, but it's nice to have a roof over your head when the wind blows and the rain falls!
