More Driving!

Today I set out from Jackson Hole to head toward Lake Tahoe. I took a leisurely approach today. I slept in a bit, did a little work and then got on the road. The first bit of excitement was heading over Teton Pass. I have never driven over a 10% grade pass. It was steep, but beautiful. Had there not been a big construction section, I would have stopped for photos.

When I made it to the other side, I called Randy to tell him about the fun of my drive over the pass. He then gave me directions to take a little side trip to his Idaho house. What a great treat. Here is the view of the valley from the deck. What a wonderful place.

From there I headed through Grand Targee Forest and Swan Valley. This was a beautiful drive. I have to admit I was surprised how much I liked this area of Idaho. I really enjoyed it.

Of course, after this wonderful drive, I was blessed with many hours of boring driving. From Idaho Falls and beyond it really reminded me of southern New Mexico. Not much to see and mountains off in the distance. In any event, I'm in Elko, NV for the night. I've enjoyed some great pizza and now it's time for some sleep. I'll be in Incline Village tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to seeing Charmelle and Bruce and Susan.
