The lulls (mechanical problems) and delights of a road trip endeared us with, impatiently at times, some adventures and misadventures as we meandered from Wyoming to Montana.

A key highlight was connecting with our new friends, Sparky and Andy, in Jackson who, after a brief meeting on the climbing walls in Wild Iris, invited us into their home (Thanks, Sparky and Andy!) And one of the nice things about being ‘stuck’ in a place is exploring places you otherwise wouldn’t…

We found ourselves on the bouldering walls in a Jackson park. Not a bad way to kill time.

Obsessing over the endless fields of wildflowers in Granite Canyon that led to hot springs.

Post hot springs in the mountains.

Devouring watermelon, down by a river.

Up close and personal with the elk in the Tetons.

And our goodbye to the Tetons

And goodbye to Wyoming with a sunset in Yellowstone

Left in Wyoming, on the bucket list: Climbing Devils Tower, Ten Sleep, and Grand Teton
