September has rolled around again which means that it is time for that age-old question: What did you do on your summer vacation? This year, Candy and I took a short “Indian Summer” vacation. We flew out to Jackson Hole, WY and spent a few days noodling around the Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks.
Togwotee Mountain Lodge was home away from home and we recommend it highly. The food was great. The wine stewardship of Charles and Mike cannot be compared (ask for the Seven Deadly Zins ;-). But most of all, the location had us at at a secluded 8600′ and an hour away from the neon of Jackson, WY.
Flying to and from the Rockies was an adventure in and of itself. We covered Missouri, Nebraska, and Wyoming pretty much from corner to corner. We flew over land from 460′ MSL (mean sea level) to about 9000′ MSL. More impressive, we were within arms reach of mountain peaks thousands of feet above our heads.
Four more posts will follow in the coming days but family duties call at the moment. Here is one small photo from Yellowstone to whet your appetite.
