Howdy, cowboys and cowgirls! This is going to be a super quick update since not a whole lot happened today. The clouds have been hanging low and the weather has been a mixed bag of sorts.
It’s snowing in Jackson, Wyoming
We arrived in Jackson tonight to find about six inches of snow piled on the sides of the roads leading into town. It’s cold here! Thankfully the forecast calls for it to warm up so we don’t have to freeze…
The mystical 12-hour drive to Wyoming
Good evening from very chilly Jackson, Wyoming! Today’s drive was the longest so far and the most dramatic.
Good-bye, Glacier!
