Moving Day Teton Natl Park

We had a leisurely breakfast with blueberry pancakes and crispy bacon along with hot coffee. Checkout was at 10 am and I am still having trouble with one of my batteries. There was no chance to charge this morning. When you need a sunny site, you get a shady one. Go figure? I reset the unit and hoped to charge that one later. It seems not to want for charge above 52%, and I had no internet for trouble-shooting.

The drive to Grand Teton was short. We were here at least an hour before checkin. The checkin guy did not want to let us in, but Phil gave him a charming-old-man story about our trip to Alaska and being on the road now more than 70 days so he let us go in and drop off the camper.

It was really smokey and also threatening rain. Phil and I drove into Jackson and found a taqueria for lunch in the posh Jackson city center. After we walked up hand took pictures by the Antler arch on the square. Same as when I was 6 years old, but much more snooty and high-end.

We made a grocery store run after, and Albertsons was slammed. Found everything but the individually wrapped wet ones that I like for my pocket after a pit toilet stop. We'll just use hand gel for now, I guess.

Back at Colter Bay, we checked out the laundry and shower facility for later. This whole complex has hundreds of campsites. The infrastructure was from the Mission 66 era (1966 that is), so about the time my family came here in the late 60's and they are considering what to do next to update the aging infrastructure. We do have flush toilets here across from our site.

I charged the big battery in the sun with the solar panel and it went up to 54%, so that's a good sign. Unfortunately, it is a little rainy this afternoon, so the sun was limited. Phil wants pork chops on the grill for supper. Easy clean up and not many dishes.Read more
