Okay, maybe
there’s a theme forming as far as my post titles. And before someone asks, yes,
I know that the city Johnny Cash is referring to in that song isn’t Jackson,
Wyoming. Anyway… we survived day two of the road trip! After being on the road
for nearly ten hours today, and passing into Mountain Standard Time, we
accomplished our goal of getting to Fort Collins. Not long after getting off
the highway here, we passed a pond with several Canada geese standing around
it. A fairly simple sight, but I still thought it was pretty cool.
We came a lot farther today than we
need to go tomorrow, so we should be in Jackson with some time to look around
the town before the sun goes down. Then, Monday we’ll finally get to explore
Grand Teton National Park!
On the road
today we got a view of the Rockies- which still have plenty of snow on them!
It’s definitely a lot colder here in Fort Collins than it was in Lubbock this
morning. Also rained a bit this evening. So it’s very possible that it’s
snowing in GT tonight.
When we
crossed into New Mexico this morning, it felt strange knowing that I’ll be out
of Texas for much longer than I’ve ever been before. But the view of the
snow-covered mountain peaks made me too excited to be sad. I’ll be in Jackson
tomorrow!!!
