Hike Out on Thursday

The Hike Out

As we arrived at the Lupine Meadows trailhead, the sky opened up and it began to rain in earnest. We returned our bear canister to the Rangers, to find the visitors center a very busy, populated place, unlike our experience on Tuesday morning.  Found the Motel 6 in Jackson, and relaxed and cleaned up for the remainder of the day.

Obligatory Stop at the Visitors' Center

We spent Friday exploring and shopping in Jackson.  ON Friday evening, I drove up to Teton Village, to visit with a former student from Salisbury, Robbie Pfunder, who now works at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort as a mountain bike guide.  He did a few tricks for me on his trials bike.

We flew home on Saturday morning.  Frank and I split up at O'Hare, as he was flying to New York and I to Hartford.  I ran into the Plunketts, from Cornwall, Ct in the terminal.  They were flying home from Nashville.  After chatting in the departure lounge, when it was time to board we discovered we were in the same row on the plane! Small world.
