Day 6

Jackson Hole (The Most Beautiful Place on Earth)

We want to apologize for the lack of pictures. The super high powered camera Brendan bought doesn't seem to be compatible with the site we are using. Its either that or we are being punished for ripping internet off of the people around us at every stop, but either way, the pictures are a work in progress.

Also, there has been some confusion as to who is writing this blog. Pete and Brendan are on the trip. Brendan has been writing with input from Pete but has been trying to keep it in the third person. If there is an "I" mixed in there is because Brendan is drunk and/or hungover and it has slipped his mind. Also, anyone who reads this can post comments and chime in about how dumb Pete is.

The trip through northern Colorado and Wyoming in route to Jackson whole resembles the 4 previous states we have been through, so basically just a whole lot of nothing to see. When and if you ever see the pictures, I took some great pictures of the nothing we saw for the 9 hour trip. However, we did come across a route referred to as the "Oregan Trail". Of course this set off a discussion of the Apple IIGE (green screen) game we played in grammer school "Oregon Trail". The Cliff Note version of this conversation is we concluded it would suck to do this trip in a covered wagon pulled by horses as we are miserable at times in an Audi going 80 miles an hour. The consensus was that little Jenny would certain have already died of typhiod fever, we would have run out of food, and our wagon certainly would have sunk while forging the river.

Brendan would like to thank all those who sent texts and messages today for his birthday. Wyoming doesn't have a single cell tower so calling people back but was hard but nonetheless they were all much appreciated. The check out woman at Joe's Diner in Fort Collins, CO gave Brendan a free cookie so the trip to the rest stop vending machine was not necessary, and lunch was on hungover Pete.

The higlight of the trip was the last 100 miles into Jackson Hole. We were surrounded by mountains, elk, cliffs, buffalo, etc. This was the first time Brendan had ever seen any of this kind of stuff so he was snapping pictures like a Chinese tourist. This brought us to Jackson Hole, WY, God's country. It is the most beautiful place. We met up with Pete's brother Ed and his girlfriend Jeanelle and went to dinner. Looking at the menu we again decided....When in Rome....and ordered the Bufallo and the Elk. It was delicious.

To continue the trend, we just grabbed some Nick Lachey's (Miller Lite's) and are watching Dumb and Dumber so we don't screwup any more quotes.

Song of the Trip: O.P.P (Naughty by Nature) blaring as we made our way into Jackson Hole, where rap I don't even think exists.
Moment of the Day: Again a tie between when Pete got into the passenger seat to find goldfish, sunflower seeds, vitamin water, gummy bears, etc littering the passenger side of the Audi and Brendan dinging his head off a gigantic elk head while exiting the bathroom at sketchy gas station #4000. At said gas station, Brendan also had the option of buying boiled eggs from a jar while paying for gas which was interesting.

Quote of the Day: While driving through middle of nowhere Wyoming, Pete: "Hey wait I think I see, wait I see, f&@#ing nothing, there is nothing out there."

The water is NOT under the Bridge.
