More Fun with Stacy in Town

View from raft on scenic float trip

On Thursday, Sept. 22nd, Stacy and Tricia and I enjoyed a lovely scenic float trip down the Snake River.  The fall season has arrived in Jackson Hole and the colors are changing daily.  The vibrant colors remind me of my favorite October days while living in New Jersey.  Along with the fall colors, we are having cooler temperatures and shorter days.  The animals are moving around more and searching out their mating partner for the season!

Stacy and Tricia spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Yellowstone and took it all in. Unfortunately, they did not see a bear and this was very disappointing to Tricia.  I told her that she should just plan to return next summer and keep looking for a bear.  After doing a lot of driving on Tuesday and Wednesday, Stacy and Tricia decided to take it easy in the house on Thursday morning while I slaved away at Triangle X in the float office.  Much to their delight, a few deer hung out in the yard all day.  It was not as exciting as a bear, but Tricia enjoyed the deer all day.

I finished work on Thursday at 1:00pm and headed home to join up with Stacy and Tricia.  We were scheduled on the 4:00pm scenic float trip and we enjoyed it a lot.  There were 3 "good ole southern boys" in our section of the raft.  These boys were so southern that two of them were wearing corduroy shirts with animals on them.  They were all from small Mississippi towns that I had never heard of.  Combined with Tricia's southern accent, the front of the boat might as well have been singing "Dixie."  The southern boys were great.  Our other raft mates looked as if they had just stepped of the Jersey Shore.

With the fall colors and beautiful weather, the views we saw from the raft were lovely.

After the scenic float trip, we enjoyed dinner and the view at Dornan's.

In Jackson Hole, there are many different modes of transportation to get you where you want to be.  A family rode on up to Dornan's while we were enjoying dinner!
