Tom Peterson the night we flew in. We went out to the "Brew Pub" and was pleased to find the "Beer To Go" cooler. No better way to cure jet lag, right Tom?
Diane gets eaten by a bear... and on the first day we were out there. It's a shame she didn't even get to ski.
Michael gets bitten by a raccoon.
Michael gets eaten by a polar bear. This is a real polar bear that was caught in Alaska. It was on display at one of the local "tourist traps." It is 9.5 feet tall.
These wooden carvings were everywhere!
Diane and Michael - does that raccoon have rabies? Or maybe termites?
It's not the best picture, but this is the bar surface of the "Silver Dollar Bar." This is merely a small section of the bar. All the silver dollars are from 1921 (21 for blackjack... signifying the bar's illegal gambling history) and are completely exposed. Those on the edge closest the stools are worn terribly while those closest the bartender are in considerably better shape.
The "Million Dollar Cowboy Bar." All the stools in this bar were saddles (see photo below). It was a fascinating place with lots of historical background. We were told there was once a tunnel between the Cowboy Bar and the Silver Dollar Bar, giving the illegal gamblers someplace to escape to during a police raid.
Each corner of the Town Square feature one of these arches made from Elk antlers. In the middle hangs moose antlers with "Jackson Hole WY" across the center.
Tom Burt on one of the saddle stools in the Cowboy Bar. It was all fun and games until Kathy spilled her beer, again.
I took this picture of town from the Snow King Ski Resort. The hill is home to the deer pictured in the "Wildlife" section of the galleries.
This photo is to the immediate right of the one above. The field at the right is the south west corner of the National Elk Refuge.
Again, this photo is to the immediate right of the one above. The National Elk Refuge extends from the edge of town all the way past the hills to the north. The small hill in the middle of the refuge is the home to the big horn sheep pictured in the "Wildlife" section of the galleries. The Snow King Resort, our hotel, is the large building at the bottom of the photo. Just off the right edge of the photo is a wall of mountains that separates the town from the rest of Wyoming.
The Snow King Resort - our home away from home.
