Rocks and Shane

Our only day off this week was spent doing a couple interesting activities. The first was something that we recently became attracted to, and that is hunting for unique rocks, including Geodes. We have seen some of these that were found locally, but we are still novices at identifying different rocks. This area is the one where the famous rock slide occurred in 1925 and there were rocks and boulders everywhere along this section of the river. Here's a shot of Josie, with hammer in hand, checking out one of the areas:

There were several rocks that we brought back to the RV to crack open to see if there was anything worthwhile. These had some crystals on the outside and we wanted to see if there was anything interesting on the inside of these stones. So far, we found nothing of interest.

We then stopped at what is known as the Pfeiffer Homestead which is located along the same road. It is a well known area for a couple reasons. One is that it is a popular location for wedding photography. The second is that it is the site where the movie Shane was filmed in 1953. It doesn't look much like a movie set now, but the movie is a great one for showing the Tetons and the Jackson Hole area. Here are the shots we took from there yesterday:

Today we start our new week which is four days - all of which we will spend closing. That means we start working at 11 AM and get home at around 7:30 each night. We had a text from our coworker last night which stated that the computers at work were down yesterday and they spent the entire day doing manual transactions. Can't wait to get to work and see the mess that we will be facing with entering all these manual transactions and getting the system up and running again. UGH!...
