Rest day

Rest day in Paradise

Kristy, Alan, Vic and me, with Maxie the dog meandered  through a forest until we reached the Snake river which was towered over by the Teton Mountains with the peaks still having snow on them. It is very hard to describe how beautiful this place is. This little walk was only 4kms but it was so nice to give the bum a rest.

We rode in the car to Jackson so Alan could get new tyres for his Mustang, then he took us to where he had booked us in for some excitement. We were going white water rafting down the Snake River, the same section that President Clinton took when he was here on holiday. We travelled by bus for about 16 klm to where our dinghies were waiting,  where  we were given instructions about our life vests, and if we fall over board how to float on our back. Vic got an oar and I sat in the middle up front (yellow hat). The rest on the inflatable were all from one family. Well what good fun we had, one guy fell over board on a huge rapid and the water was freezing . We got soaking wet but it was a hoot, this took 3 hours, Alan and Kristy picked us up then back home to change then back into town, just in time to see a shoot out in the main square, played by some actors promoting the show Annie get your Gun and Wyatt Earp playing in the local playhouse, this was fantastic - then off to the Million Dollar Bar where we sat on saddles stools and drank local beers, Snake Ale Pale Ale, Million Dollar Cowboy beer. We then moved on to the Silver Dollar bar which has thousands of silver dollars under glass on the bar, then on to Worts Hotel, and then the dinner at the  Gun Barrel  Steak and Game House.. another great day
