Jackson, WY - Continued

 We are spending a week in Jackson. This is our second time here with horses. We came here in July 2013 with Laertes and Oberon. So much has changed! 

Pia, our host, recommended that we bring in this chiropractor to make adjustments to the horses. We normally have the horses checked a couple of times per year - at the beginning of the riding season and at the end - but we haven't been successful getting a chiropractor to come out to our barn in Cupertino. So, we said "sure, hook us up.". $140 ($70 per horse) and Dr Tiger spent less than 15 minutes on each horse. We normally pay around $120 and the provider spends at least an hour. Regardless, both horses seem happier and more relaxed since their treatments.

We took a day off of trail riding so we could spend a day in Jackson, playing tourist. We stopped to get the truck a car wash. It was pretty dirty and muddy from all the off roading we have been doing. At least half the places we have stayed have been on unpaved roads.

I thought this sign reminding folks to practice social distancing was pretty cute. It says "Feel free to roam - just know yer range." And has a 6' balloon coming from the bison.

We did some light shopping, but the shops in downtown Jackson have gotten super pricey. We were looking for some riding gloves and Ari spotted a pair with a price tag of $160. These were Santana Row or Rodeo Drive prices. So, mostly we browsed. Ari bought a flannel shirt and I bought a coffee mug for my morning chai lattes.

We stopped at an Albertson's to pick up some groceries on our way back and I loved this display of venison meat in the middle of the grocery store. I picked up some elk steaks and bison sausages.

This morning's breakfast in the LQ. Ari felt like Southern style pecan waffles. Luckily, I brought our waffle iron, so we are not suffering even living full-time in a trailer.

Back in 2013, we rode the Game Creek Trail - located a little south of Jackson. The trail is still there, but it has been greatly improved. Our best ride yet in the past month.

The two horse bumper pull trailer fit just fine at the Game Creek Trailhead. 

We stopped to let the horses drink from Game Creek.

Back in 2013, there wasn't this nice parking area or the trail map and the trails weren't so nice. It was an easy ride, some shade, and not that rocky.
