I got one more star block finished for the Star Crazy BOM – that makes 2 stars done (need a bit more than that) and the one appliqué block. I am working on a new appliqué block today.
I have had a couple e mails about what does the camper look like inside, I took two photos but it is hard to get a photo inside a small space to me, but here goes. This is the kitchen and the bedroom area. The bed is also the table and the dinette benches but it is easier to leave it made up as a bed than take it apart every morning. The log cabin quilt is one I made about 10 years ago. I hand pieced it on a camping trip to Rocky Mountain National Park.
The other side of the camper – this is the cab part, the two black chairs turn to face front when driving and turn to face the inside when we are parked. There is an extra chair which I use most of the time as it sits closer to the able that you can see my computer on. Mike has a table that opens from a small dresser.
There is a place for everything and I try to keep it nice and neat – but Mike’s idea of nice and neat and mine are two different things! LOL isn’t that the way it usually goes.
Two coyotes that we saw this morning on our drive over to the hiking trail that we took today by Jenny Lake. I have never seen two together before. These two were engaged in chasing down ground squirrels.
Next post or two will be from the trail today – the 18th.
This is the journey so far:
Great museum here in Jackson, we spent several hours browsing through the building. Only complaint I have is that the admission price for adults was $12 and 60 and older were charge $10 – without asking us she charge us the $10 LOL should I be insulted – I’m not quite 58 years old still and I use Oil of Olay and hair dye – I’m usually taken for younger
Mike on the other hand doesn’t dye his hair and it is white and gray – I will blame it on him!! Oh well we saved $4 and that counts
The displays outside were really nice – you could take pictures of part of the inside but not of the gallery’s.
A display at the entrance – you see a lot of these bronze type of sculptures here. This museum is across the road from the Elk Refuge so the elk display is very appropriate.
At the entrance to the main drive this sign is seen. Very weird in my opinion, I have never seen a marmot crossing before!
The front of the museum:
A deer by the main door with Aspen trees which I love.
Yellow columbines which I love. I will need to replant my columbines at home, I had purple and yellow and none of them came up this year!
A totem pole in the main hall:
A really nice painting of a bear and with the rock wall for a back drop I really loved it.
This is the building from the road view – built right into the hillside it looks. The front of the building can not be seen from the road.
After the museum we drove up to the southern part of Yellowstone as we will not be going to that end when we visit Yellowstone in a couple weeks. It was actually closer to the Tetons to see it now and then when we go to Yellowstone we will not have that drive to the southern tip. We drove up to see Lewis Falls which we have also loved to see and did not disappoint, the water was running full.
(this post was from the 17th Saturday)
Here is a link to photos Mike took at the art show on his blog: http://hawcreekoutdoors.com/blog/jackson-wyoming-art-show-in-miller-park/
We had seen some signs the other day that said Jackson had a farmer’s market Saturday mornings so we thought we would check it out. I deliberately did not buy veggies yesterday because of that. I was not disappointed.
The veggies were a little pricey I thought but we do not need much as I don’t have much storage space. I got enough green beans for our meal tonight, some lettuce mix, a tomato, cucumber, two ears of corn for tomorrow and a lovely small loaf of whole wheat walnut bread – the bread was so soft, normally I find it crustier. It was delicious and we have eaten all but two slices of it today! What pigs we are.
For our meal tonight I made up chicken breast, salad, green beans and bread. I should have taken a photo so you can see what wonders can be whipped up in a tiny camper kitchen! LOL
I have been doing a lot of cooking outside and in aluminumfoil envelopes that I make up from a box that I have of the foil – less dishes to clean up!
The day started out with a little bit of rain and plenty of clouds! Here is the small farmers market – less than I thought it would be but nice of what was there.
So many wonderful flowers sold in bouquets and large hanging baskets.

And what every tourist town needs – public parking and rest rooms – nice building.
After lunch we wandered through the art show that was taking place this weekend. I had to get a photo of this bed that was for sale from the artist that does wood carving, the hat on the post is all part of the post made out of wood and the foot post are both cowboy boots. I thought it quite unique! I just noticed that you can see me in the mirror in the corner of the photo and I got Mike taking a photo as well.
