    The following picture gave the explanation : the picture was for the log cabin carried on the trailor ! Wouldn't it be nice to use it as a king size camping car ? That would be more comfortable than one of these toy size camping cars ! Of course, you will not be able to drive everywhere ! Winding small mountain roads will not be for you but comfort is worth some sacrifices, isn't it ?

    I have taken a number of photos of fancy trucks with their special look. At first, I felt that this photo was one of these, with the truck parked close to a log cabin. However, what puzzled me was that the truck was rather plain and not so much fancy. Then, why did I take this picture ?

    The Wranglers
    by glo39, 4 more photos
    My son and I went on this covered wagon, horseback riding and camping trip in August, 2003. When a teenager flings his arms around you at the end of the 1st day and announces how much he's enjoying the trip and sleeping in a tent you know you have a hit on your hands.
    We were in the Targhee National Forest bordering Yellowstone. We pitched our tents in a different location each night. As we moved from camp to camp you could choose to either ride a horse, ride in the covered wagon, hike or a combination of all three options. We splashed in a waterfall, we canoed, we lassoed, we shot guns-all kinds of guns, we rode, we hiked we heard cowboy poetry around the campfire, we saw a double rainbow. I can't remember when I had so much fun. There was plenty to eat and drink and snack on. The owners and the wranglers were warm and wonderful people. Really hospitable.

    Grand Teton Brewing Company...it's in Idaho

    Grand Teton Brewing Company
    by kazander
    I had heard a lot about The Grand Teton Brewing company and their interestingly named beers. We figured we should make a little trip out to the brewery to sample some beer. Now before you get the wrong idea as I did, it's not a pub, there is no resturant, it's not even a bar, it's just the actual brewery with a tiny tasting room. Our time there was all of 15 minutes. We sampled some beers, the B1tch Creek was actually my favorite, Lou was a fan of the Teton Ale. Sadly they no longer make the Huckleberry Wheat, I was looking forward to trying that one!
    The brewery also creates it's own root beer and ginger ale.
    Getting here was really half the fun. It's only 20 miles away from Jackson, but the road travels over the Teton Pass. The scenery is quite spectacular!
    If you don't make it out here, I'm sure you'll find their beers in almost any bar or resturant.

    Soaking my broken arm in
    the hot springs
    by Rickman77
    These are a local favorite.
    Natural hotsprings, no fees, no concrete, just you and nature.
    There are many pools which lead into a creek. The pools are much too hot during the summer but can be enjoyed in the winter.

    There is a guardian of the hotsprings...which happens to be a bison. Don't bother him and he won't bother you.

    The springs are accessible by a 1 mile hike/snowshoe/ski. Usually there is a boot pack so hiking is possible. If there is a lot of fresh snow you will probably want snowshoes or cross country skis however.
    The trail starts in a parking lot and is marked, but not extremely well.

    The trail starts at the Flagg Ranch parking lot which is in between Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park.

    You will have to drive through one of the parks to get to Flagg Ranch. You can ask one of the park rangers at the gate for maps and directions. There are also maps in the Flagg Ranch parking lot, though the tourist facilities at Flagg Ranch are closed during the winter time.

    Have a look for Hollywood celebrities or politicians. Lots of them visit Jackson regularly. "Indiana Jones"-actor Harrison Ford even has a ranch in Jackson. The airport just out of town is frequently used by the stars who visit the city.

    Bison Watching

    Most people may go into the Parks to find Bison, but the best place to see these magnificent cow thingies is Kelly, Wyoming. Minutes East of Moose junction Kelly offers great views of Teton Range, and TONS of Bison. They are everywhere, so be careful. Also, if you are a Shane buff, the film site for part of that movie is in Kelly.
