10th May 2006 Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Following breakfast came the Board Meeting to decide our next steps. As mentioned yesterday many of the parks are still closed due to the late winter and so much snow etc we felt that to drag it out hoping for a quick improvement would not be the best idea. Also the Americans here are about to celebrate Memorial Day in a big way with many people taking holidays and so roads , hotels etc would be busy.
US Airways offered us flights on Sunday 14th from Denver and so we expect to arrive home on Monday 15th May, perhaps 10 days earlier than planned.
We then went to visit the village of Teton. It was deserted and 95% closed. It is a very nice skiing village and I guess very expensive the Four Seasons Resort Hotel where rooms cost over US dollar 250 even in the slack season plus tips and breakfast up to US dollars 1700, but this includes breakfast!!. Not for us but if you have some cash to burn then this would be a nice place to do it.
We called to try and do a whitewater boat trip on the Snake River only they needed more than two people to make up a trip and so we could not go.
For the rest of the day we planned the rest of our itinerary and then went for a drive to Teton National Park again. We saw some deer and also an eagle and then went for a walk around Jackson to take a few photos.
I forgot to mention , the weather is fantastic today, lots of sun but quite cold still.
Tomorrow we take a slow drive back to Rock Springs en-route for Steamboat Springs.
