We spent today in search of memories from our honeymoon – and we found them! The Grand Tetons are more crowded than when we came in 1973 but we found an almost quiet stretch of Jenny Lake shore for our lunch. The door on the outhouse at Menor’s Ferry is now nailed shut, but it’s still there. We spent a quiet moment inside the Chapel of the Transfiguration before returning to Jackson Hole for a dinner of buffalo ribeye and Mighty Bison Brown Ale.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
How was the Mighty Bison Brown Ale?
It was great meeting you both! Thanks for the visit… I needed it. Enjoy the journey. 🙂
If they have to nail the door shut….
I LOVE Jackson Hole – everything is wood and stone!  I also liked the antler horn entranceways to the town park – did you get to see those?  It is such a beautiful place…and the Tetons……what a sight!
