| Flakes in Pinedale |
Just driving through dreamy beauty all day. Maybe it was the forgotten awe coupled with relief at seeing that blanket of white on sagebrush, fondant frosting on the Wind River Range, and icy, misty mountain tops in Idaho.

Birds of prey and their young finding nearly every post. And water, glorious water: the bathtub of Palisades Reservoir, flowing in the Snake and filling the Clark Fork over its banks.

The Wren in Missoula or Marcus Daly Motel would have been fine places to stay. Or a cabin at Boulder Creek RV Resort. But the time change gave me an extra hour and I made it all the way to Spokane and arrived in the dark to stay in a room looking out to an ocean of cars and the people upstairs walking back and forth, back and forth at 2AM.
Highlights
- Nearly every mile between Pinedale and Bondurant, Looking both directions.
- Highway 26 along Palisades Reservoir
- I-15 just past the Idaho Montana border
Books
Did you know that the Teton Colter Bay cabins came from a bunch of different ranches around the Jackson Hole valley. Inside of each cabin there is a plaque with it's history! I learned this from the
Park Lodges book. I doubt the validity of time-sensitive nuggets in my old book but the green boxes are interesting!
Music
In theme with the thoughtless, zombiness driving of the day, Kris would have been proud of the groovy, EDM thump of Magic City Hippies, ufo ufo and Kid Bloom. Also recommend podcasts for long drive days like today. My favs: Smartless, Zero to Travel, Higher Self Spills the Tea.
Breaks
Too cold for breaks through Wyoming, Idaho and Montana but Washington was warm enough for a quick, cold ride on the Centennial Trail.
