Jackson, WY - Day Two

This is turning into a soap opera; you can stop reading anytime! The power wheelchair won’t work in the rental car so we rented a folding manual Tuesday. However, up to that time Barb had been walking everywhere that she normally rides. The last walk that she was going to have to make was from the motel to the car and we fell. Went to lunch at the Cadillac Grill and got her a half pound burger as she was starting to suffer withdrawal for a good burger. Afterwards her wrist was swollen and really hurting so we went to the hospital. She had a nice clean fracture; Doc set it and put on a cast and we’re settled into The Point at Jackson Hole. That night Barb ate in the room and went to bed and I went to a nice restaurant within walking distance from the motel last night – the Rendezvous Bistro. I made reservations for both of us for Wed.

We’re going to do some day trips from here, sleep a lot and spend way more money than we had expected. They said we could stay in the RV but I don’t think that would be relaxing. It’s parked in their lot with no power or water and tow trucks come and go 24/7. And if it calms down at night, they’re right next to a ball diamond that looks like a minor minor league deal with lights, lots of yelling and a PA system. So in addition to the transmission cost, we’re going to sit here for a week or two and burn through cash!

  1. Oh no! I hope Barb's arm is doing better. Wow, how long is she in the cast? Well, you know it wouldn't be an Avise trip unless something goes wrong! At least that's what we say with the Avise-Rouse's. And you'll have a great story to tell everyone when you get home!
