Sharp's Travels

It rained all night. Temperatures dropped to 38 degrees. Morning didn’t bring any dry weather. We had to close up in the rain. By the time we pulled out it was rain/sleet. We made a stop at Sink Canyon State Park in Lander. The river rushes down and disappears into a cave. For years they couldn’t figure out where it went to. Now they find it coming out of the hillside rocks about ¼ mile down the road. What a beautiful picture.

Coming through Dubois, WY we ran into snow. The ground is all white and the snowflakes are BIG. Temperature is 33 degrees as we climbed up to the Continental Divide in the Teton National Forrest. The snow got deeper along the roads and clung to the trees. It was so pretty. As we got almost back down to the bottom the Grand Tetons came into view. They were all snow covered with clouds hanging around them and the sun in the background. What a beautiful site.

We entered Grand Teton National Park and spotted buffalo along the road and 2 big herds of elk.

At noon we pulled off in a scenic overlook to eat lunch just before entering Jackson. We took Hwy 22 that goes up through Teton Pass and on up the highway they had a flashing sign saying NO TRAILERS beyond that point. They said the roads were icy and we shouldn’t go over the pass with the 5th wheel. Darn, we only had 18 miles to go to our campground in Victor, ID. We turned around and headed back into Jackson and took the loop around to Victor. That meant about 80 miles to our campground instead of 18 miles!

It was still raining when we reached our campground and we had to set up in the rain. We are here for 5 days to look over the area.
