Jackson, Wy Teton Village KOA

     It was a short drive to Jackson, but most of it was uphill.  Jackson is at 6200 feet - good for lots of snowfall in the winter and good skiing.  The area is beautiful with lots of ranches, farms and rolling hills.  The mountains are purple and the air is very clear.
     This KOA is pretty old and the campsites are close together.    However, there are a lot of big trees and some bushes which make each campsite a little private.  We have shade and a great area to put out our lawn chairs.  We are located very close to the Jackson Hole ski area.
    We ate lunch and then drove over to the ski area to walk around and recall our days of skiing there.  We could see one of the condos where we stayed and stopped by the "Mangy Moose" bar where we often had a beer after a day of skiing.  Rick really was nostalgic about the great days of skiing that we had on this mountain.  We were in our 30's when we skiied here last and had a wonderful group of friends to ski with.
      We really enjoyed the cooler weather and had a nice evening.  We grilled some burgers, had some beers and sat outside reading.  Rick has gone through nearly as many books as I have on this trip.  I brought along quite a few books and have been trading some of them along the way at campground where there are other bookworms and nice book exchanges.  I am so happy that our camper has plenty of storage for the books - I am always in need of something to read.
