Grand Tetons + Jackson cont.

We left Rob's family in Denver and had a fantastic lunch with aunt and uncle Jim and Sally Belcher in Cheyenne and strolled around Frontier Days, the 3rd largest Rodeo purse in the world. After that we headed north to Casper.

After my wonderful aunt and uncle Lindy and Lance hosted us in Casper, WY at their new 'ranchero' that they designed (Santa Fe style), and we had a delicious meal (thanks Rex!!) with them + Karen and Rex (my mother's other sister) and my cousin Lily and her husband Shaun (thanks again Rex!! It was wonderful), we spent Sunday trying to track down tire / alignment place that had 4 225-45 17 tires in stock. Apparently these are "low profile" tires and no one carries them in stock.... and no one is open on a Sunday.

Finally we found some -- Wal-Mart of course.

Got 'em mounted, but no luck on an alignment, which is too bad, since one corner is way out of align.

Headed out of Casper and made it to Lander, which we really enjoyed --- reminded us of Durango.

This morning we headed out of Lander early towards the Great Tetons. Enjoyed a great day in the park at Jenny Lake and then finished the afternoon strolling the streets of Jackson and an evening cocktail overlooking the town square.

On with the photos:
