Friday, July 9th - we stayed at the Hampton Inn on the outskirts of Rawlins after driving up from the Denver airport. I awoke early and decided to take a walk. A little surprised, 44 degrees, and there I was in gym shorts and T-shirt. I figured I'd better set a quick pace if I wasn't to be victim of hypothermia on my first full day in Wyoming.
As I got closer to intown I came to this mural of a street in Rawlins around the 1930s, very nice artwork.
The street ahead.
Sunrise on my return to the hotel, I filtered it through the truck windows of a dealership as I walked by.Once we hit the road the following are pictures along the way to the condo we stayed at in Driggs, Idaho.
I guessing this is serious snowfencing compared to what we have in Maine. Must have been ten feet high and was a frequent site throughout the region.
A trailer home with a view.
Lunch at the Cowboy Cafe in Dubois, Elk Sausage with salsa omelet, plus a few cups of coffee. That hit the spot. Click here for someone's Flickr photo of the place, something I should have done, duh.
Photo taken by Ian with the pan feature on his Sony camera, pretty cool.
Did you say sage? I loved it, the smell spiced everything up.
Myself and Ian at a scenic turnout as we were heading south past Grand Teton National Park.
Right in the middle of Driggs, Idaho. It's a terrific little town. Caters to both the summer park visitors and the winter sports folks. Has about everything you need and bonus, I found a used book store and grabbed a couple of Mike Resnick books for $5. Very good grocery store in town, Broulim's, where beside food staples for the condo I was able to pickup some pretty good locally brewed beer.Check back, I hope to continue with follow ups to this post. Thanks to Carol and Ian for their photos used here.
