Jackson

Greetings from Jackson.

No, not that Jackson. We're still more than 2,000 miles from our White Mountain home, but we did settle into Jackson, Wyoming, for the night. It was a long day of driving from Missoula, Montana, with several stops to walk and explore along the way.

While we were in bear country for three days, we're now in the heart of grizzly country. Each time we stepped out of Clarence to walk along a river, across a meadow, or through rows of fragrant pine trees, Samwise and Emily were asked to stay close, and I was armed with a canister of bear spray.
