Wed., and Thurs., May 21-22--Lousy Weather

Wednesday was as the weather channel foretold--snow and rain all day long with the high temperature in the low 40s! We stayed in the rv to keep warm and dry.
Thursday was another dreary day, but the rain was off and on. We went sightseeing in the morning. We stopped at all the turnouts we had missed before! You could not see the Tetons for the low clouds!
We visited Cunningham's Cabin. Cunningham was a rancher in the early 1900s. It was an interesting place.
This mountain bluebird stopped on the saltbrush long enough for Joyce to get a picture.
After all the rain many wildflowers started to bloom. These were blooming at the entrance to a ground squirrel's hole.
Then we stopped at Deadman's Bar boat launch on the Snake River. It was the first time the road was open since we arrived at Grand Tetons!
We drove into Jackson to visit the local K-Mart and other stores. The clouds were still hanging low over the Tetons!
Not much we could do in the way of sightseeing in the afternoon! We were able to walk around the campground in the evening, but thunder clouds made us head back indoors!
