Winging It

We had ambitious plans yesterday to go to Wilson and complete the ride on our bikes that was detoured a couple of weeks ago because of low tire inflation. I loaded the bikes onto the rear of the Jeep and we headed out to Wilson. On the way, we decided to get a couple lottery tickets before the ride, so we continued on to the Teton Pass that goes over the mountain and into Victor, ID where we buy our lottery tickets. We picked up our tickets and then decided to drive into Driggs, about 7 miles up the road - to locate a place to have some breakfast. We discovered a place called Providers (formerly called Mill Creek Grill) on the main street that looked inviting. It was also the kind of place where we could sit outside and enjoy the fine day:

We ordered our breakfast and the waitress somehow messed up my order and brought pancakes instead of the French Toast that I ordered. So, Josie started eating her breakfast croissant sandwich while I waited for my French Toast. The food was good and, overall, a pretty good choice. The main street in Driggs is very nice:

and we made one more stop at a nice outdoor clothing store across the street from the restaurant that we spotted while eating.

We began heading back to Wilson where we the starting point is located for our bike ride. Josie wanted to check out a location that was off the road before the Teton Pass began on the Idaho side, so we took the turnoff to Moose Creek Ranch. We had no idea this was the location of another dude ranch but it was a nice place that is also very close to Jackson on the Idaho side, or western side, of the Teton National Park.

We drove past the Ranch and to a trailhead that entered the Jedediah Smith Wilderness that straddled the border between Idaho and Wyoming:

It is another of the unbelievably beautiful trails that are available to enjoy in this area. It is a series of trails that take you into the Tetons from the west and join the trails that we have been hiking in the Park on the Wyoming side.

By this time, it was too late to start our bike ride so we postponed it again until - maybe - today. The skies were beginning to cloud up again anyway, so we came home and spent the rest of the afternoon in the fifth wheel. We have been tired most of the week so it was a good opportunity to rest up...
