Started our of Great Falls this morning on our way to Twin Bridges. Toured the Winston Rod Company and really learned alot. Small Building, BUT large operation. Jammer - you might enjoy their video on their website (
http://www.winstonrods.com/). Then on to Jackson Wyoming. The wheat and potato fields in Idaho were amazing. HUGE!!! All you could see is field after field of potatoe blooms and wheat fields. We kept seeing these sod roofed short, squat buildings - Guess what they were for??-- potato storage. Really cool. Followed along beside the mountains and knew we had to drive over them BUT we sure were not expecting what we received. We have never driven a mountain with a 10% grade up and a 10% grade down in a total of 6 miles. It was a beautiful drive and I sure am glad it had guard rails. First gear was a must. At the bottom of the mountain was Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We are staying at the Virginian RV Park - right across the street from the Gun Barrel Restaurant. YUM!YUM! The buffalo steaks were awesome. Tomorrow we take the shuttle into downtown Jackson for some walking and shopping. Friday we will be leaving and driving through the Tetons and Yellowstone on our way to Billings and Bozeman, Montana. I hope young Red and Chatterbox have been able to stay awake for their shoots. Love ya'll.
