Jackson Hole and beyond
Sun: We drove to Jackson, WY,a.k.a. Jackson Hole. What surely was once a quaint little western town has become completely corrupted by money and tourists. Except for the western flavor, it was virually indistinguishable from someplace like Beverly Hills. It had all the high priced art dealers and expensive furniture shops. The requisite ice cream stores and tee shirt shops were also in abundance. Dianne had seen some identical items at a craft show in Reno at about a third of the price. City slickers wearing cowboy clothes would hardly have stood out more if they had been naked. The real estate brokerage brands were Sotheby's and Christies.
Mon: We visited the town of Afton, WY. We toured the Aviat airplane factory. Yeah, I know. I'm dreaming about a former life. But, I still like airplanes.
After lunch we hiked to an intermittent spring. It's a fairly rare phenomenon. It works on a siphon principle, much like a toilet trap. It wasn't intermittent during our visit. We understand that there is still too much water for the flow to stop until approximately September when most of the snow has long melted and the runoff has slowed.
