Final Preparations for Jackson trip

We are just about there with the final details for our trip tomorrow to the Tetons and Jackson WY. I picked up the certificate at the GM's office for the employee discount to be used for our reservation at the Holiday Inn in Riverton for Thursday night. I also have the names and numbers of two places we will go while in Jackson that require reservations - Bar J Chuckwagon and the Aerial Tramway - and will call this morning to complete those reservations. The Bar J Chuckwagon is a restaurant that has a dinner and show that is suppose to be excellent. The Bar J Wranglers are the group that plays there and are a Country and Western group that is nationally known and have appeared on TV on several different shows. The Aerial Tramway is near the Teton Village and is a ride that I'm a little nervous about but is one that is considered a must-do when you go to the Tetons. Josie and I both are anxious for this day to end - our last work day of this week.

We're hoping for some warming up by the time we leave on our trip. The temperature dropped to 43 degrees this morning and there are reports that say that Yellowstone will drop below 32 this morning. That's way too cold for this time of year. The forecast is for warmer weather starting tomorrow.

Our plan is to get a very early start tomorrow, so I'm not quite sure yet about getting the post done in the morning. We expect the drive to take about 4 hours, but we have to go through a part of Yellowstone in order to get there, so a lot depends on how long it takes for that leg of the trip. It should be fun...
