Yellowstone, Day 4



The final leg of our journey.  We were disciplined and got up and out of our hotel by 6 am.  Since we both have to work tomorrow, we decided to forego YNP and head straight out through Old Faithful and go through the Tetons.  We left so early determined to find some moose.  We were completely unlucky.  No animals through the last part of Yellowstone, and nothing but osprey through the Tetons.  We stopped at my lake and took several reflection pictures.  We then drove to Teton Village to take the aerial tram.  However, the tram does not open until this Saturday!  So the lesson learned?  Stop changing our traditions.  If you want to see wolves, definitely go to Yellowstone now.  But if you'd like to see lots of other wildlife, wait until late May.  Now our timing was messed up.  We always go to Bubba's (a bbq pit) for dinner, and were hoping to hit it at lunch time.  We got into Jackson Hole at 10 am, so went for an adventure drive and came back at 10:30, thinking the lunch menu would be served.  Nope, still breakfast time.  So we had 2nd breakfast.  It was pretty good.  My pancakes were some of the best I've had.  We got home with no mishaps, but some disappointment.  We will definitely continue our trip at the end of May, and never change it again (at least until we'd like to see some wolves).  :)
