Friday 6th August 2004
From
Dillon, Sacajawea Motel to Jackson Hot Springs Lodge Camping Area. Headed
up over the two passes to get to Jacskson, the bigger pass was called 'Big
Hole Pass' - where the Big Hole River rises I guess. Guy saw a badger. The
roads were beautifully quiet and the scenery improved as we got higher -
the grasslands giving place to woodland. There was an excellent downhill
into the Big Hole Valley - we reached 41mph. Jackson has hot springs, so
we camped at the Hot Springs Lodge and went for a dip - it's not very romantic
because the pool is a concrete swimming pool and there are heaps of people
there. It was hot - too hot to swim for very long. Not as hot, or as delightful
a setting, as Saratoga. And the camping is a little expensive at 20 dollars.
Bought some Bitterroot Brewery beers and drank them before preceding to
Rose's Cafe and Cantina (cheaper than the Hot Springs Lodge - and seems
better value). Delicious Burritos stuffed with beans - vegetarian food.
The tune in my head today was an aria from Peter Grimes - Ellen singing
about 'We hoped to make a new start'. Guy had a song about a ship with eight
sails from Weill. Very literary today... There was a happy family reunion
going on at the Lodge - though this place seems at the end of the earth.
