Camp Bliss

We are currently sitting on top of a beautiful overlook outside of Jackson, Wyoming.  Our trailer is parked on a small bluff that makes it feel like we are sitting on an island.  Just below us is a gently flowing stream. Just in front of us is a splendid view of the Grand Tetons.

Aside from the cold night-time temperature of 28*F, it really doesn’t get much better!  On top of our beautiful setting, there is just enough like minded campers around to make us feel somewhat secure, without being crowded.  To top it all off, the campsite is free!

It is amazing how much the campsite and environment really does affect our moods and the trip.  Waking up to a wonderful view does a great job of curing morning grumpiness in the event, for example, that you didn’t sleep much the night before due to misjudging the cold weather and neglecting to wear proper long underwear .

Although our plans were to initially just camp in Jackson for one night, we’ve decided to stay for a few days to enjoy the town, the sites, and camp setting.  Today we enjoyed a 5 mile hike with the dogs along the Snake river.  Tomorrow we will explore the cute town center, and after that, who knows!?

P.S.

So… we ended up getting lost in no-man’s-land without internet for quite some time.  As a result, this post is being published a few weeks after the initial writing.  The pictures that fosummarize our fantastic time in Jackson hole.  Besides the wonderful campsite, the town itself is one that we would love to come back to.  It felt a lot like 2 of our favorite towns back home:  Bend and Hood River, OR.
