Goin' to Jackson......

This is Bev and I in the back seat......heading to Jackson Hole to do a River Run.  We have our river hats on and we are getting "psyched up" for the fun ahead...

The Gun Barrel Steak and Game House is where we ended up......like for the "Early Bird Special" because we were there pretty early in the afternoon/evening....we were hungry and wanted to eat before the crowds really set it.....we are getting old.....gaaaaa.  These were buffalo ribs, and they were obscenely huge....about 12" long.....and meaty....Boyd was all "adventuresome" in his choice.  I think being with Brad might have influenced him, sine Brad's palate is much more refined that Mr. Mr's.

Bev had the Prime Rib....she's that kind of meat-loving gal.....

twice a year, she says...

hahahaha.

I'm about as predictable as you can get in a steak joint......the filet....it never disappoints...

medium with horseradish and I'm h-a-p-p-y...

No, the Buffalo didn't stink,

but it looked like it had a case of mange.....

Now, a brief run-down on this.  We woke up to cold, overcast and threatening snow.  We were sitting out in front of the outfitters and Bev said: "We don't HAVE to go....we are adults, we can make changes to our plans, we could head into Yellowstone for the day."  We thought about it, but I whined...."yeah, but we came up to do the river..."  everyone agreed, so we headed inside.  It was such an ordeal to get this wet-suit on.  It took (3) people to get it over my THIGHS.....argggggg.  curses to these thighs....They were tight and it started to set it......this could be dangerous, and cold, and miserable, and we could regret this decision for a long time.  But we loaded into their vans and headed out  Bev wanted to take Norm, but it was determined his pointy head would be dangerous and could possibly puncture the raft.  But one of the guides took Norm and said he would take pictures of him at a critical place on the river...........

How fantastic is this.  They guy knew when we would be at a critical rapid and he got Norm in the photo.....that was such a bonus.  This river run was cold.  It was FANTASTIC, rugged, scary, intense, and everything you would want a river run to be.  We laughed and screamed and promised we would do it again.

On the way home we stopped for breakfast in Afton.....this was a Sunday morning and the place looked deserted....

with a ton of road construction.

Another memorable trip with Brad and Bev.  We know when we go with them, lots of laughing will take place......I love them so.
