Weir Everywhere!

Today began as a lazy day, with Dylan and Cassidy sleeping late.  As the noon hour began to approach, we rallied the energy of each of us to go into town to get some lunch.  We weren't even out of the entrance to Fireside Resort when Dylan noticed one of our Forgotten Space tribe members from Dallas, Zac Castillo.  In a town of less than 10,000 people, we run into someone we know! Zac pulled over when he saw Sugaree and suggested a great place for lunch.  We took him up on his suggestion of Nora's in Wilson and we all ate together and got to know Zac and it was great.

After lunch, we walked around the main plaza of Jackson Hole.  It is a very cool town and I love the vibe of the local people.  We ended up back at the bus and cooked a wonderful dinner of pan-seared sole with sautéed zucchini and oyster and shitatke mushrooms.





We have caused quite the stir in our RV park, especially with the little ones.  A group of them came by to marvel at the bus and I gave them all clown noses.  A couple of funny things heard...
"Mr. Hippie...can I have a clown nose?"  (Her mom scolded her and told her it's not nice to call someone a hippie)
"They're hippies and they don't have anywhere else to live!"  (This one cracked me up!)






The place we are staying, Fireside Resort, is great.  Not only is the view amazing, but they also have about 20 sustainable tiny homes for rent.  They look like shipping containers, but I don't think they are, but are about that size.  It would be worth coming back sometime just to stay in one of those.


After dinner, we hung out by the campfire, and Zac came over and hung out with us.  We had a great day with Zac in Jackson Hole and wish him the best here.  He now lives here for a good part of the year and works at a hot air balloon company and spends lots of time hiking in the mountains.  Zac left Dallas to pursue his bliss and is doing quite a good job at it!  

Now, we get ready to head up to Yellowstone National Park.  Yellowstone is only about two hours north of here, so a nice easy drive is ahead of us.
