Sharp's Travels

We ventured out this morning to Driggs. It was about 8 miles up the road from our campground. Teton Aviation Center was located there. They had a collection of old war birds. One was out on the runway preparing to do a test flight. We watched it take off. We also checked out their glider rides. They only had ones that 1 person could ride in. We wanted to go up together so will wait for another opportunity.

We went back to the 5th wheel for lunch and then headed for Teton Village. We wanted to check out the aerial tram that goes up the mountain. To our disappointment they did not go to the top of the mountain and started to rain so we drove on into Jackson to check out the Jackson Hole Museum. They were having a Mountain Man demo. He was interesting to talk to and he told us about how he has been studying books and collecting artifacts about mountain men for many years. He had a nice collection of items.

We walked around the square in Jackson, popped into a number of stores and galleries. Saw a lot of neat stuff but didn’t buy anything. We got our picture takes in front of the arch of antlers in the square. That is a must for anyone who comes to Jackson.

We went just outside of town to tour the National Museum of Wildlife Art but it was to expensive to get in so stopped back at the visitors center and they had a gallery of their own. Lots of wildlife displayed. This was all free to look at.

For supper we went to the Bar J Chuck Wagon Supper and Western show. It was their first show of the season and they had a full house. You file through one by one and get your supper on a tin plate. They served everyone very fast. We had barbeque beef, baked potato, beans, applesauce, biscuit and spice cake. It was all very good meal and a great show.

It was hard to see coming back up over Teton Pass but finally made it home at 10:30pm. What a day!
