In the biting cold we packed the trucks and headed to the airport. Salt Lake City is expecting over a foot of snow the following day, which will make the 5.5 hour drive to Jackson Hole, WY pretty time critical.
This trip started well as we arrived to the airport with a near red carpet experience. Somehow, Jason and I qualified for the “get out of jail cause your hot card” option., from the nice ladies at the check in counter. Jason had two over weight roller bags and I had a roller bag, regular bag and a 70lbs pelican case.
Two planes, hundreds of pages and a movie or two down and we arrived in Salt Lake City with all our gear ready to hit the road to Jackson Hole. We had tentative plans to grab Tekko’s RV for our adventure. We got all the details from him except the actual location of where to pick it up. Hmmmm… So we rented a car and headed south the only direction Jason got, we randomly pulled off the highway about to grab food when we got Tekko’s text with the address. I quickly plugged it into the GPS and over 2:03 away really!?!?…. Wow this day just got longer, that’s when we looked at the distance that read 1.5 miles, YES! That whole time zone thing will get you. Crisis #1 averted. We arrived to the house where the RV was gated in and with a watchdog. I was just waiting for everything to come crashing down, but the RV started with no problem and we were off on our 5 hour drive North East to Jaskson Hole…
… after a few hundred miles, snow rabbits, deer, an owl and a moose we arrived in Jackson Hole. Fletch and Jason came to pick us up as the RV wasn’t going to made it down the narrowly plowed back road with 10-15 foot snow piles on either side. Exhausted after a full days travel the beer was a simple yet rewarding prize. We stayed up and chatted for a few hours by the fireplace before crashing out.
