It’s Day 4 on our 6 days’ Winter drive from California to New York. It is a small planned deviation from our standard Interstate 80 drive, not willing to miss Jackson Hole in Winter. I have been taking some photographs on the way, mostly while driving and sometimes pulling over on the shoulder or at some of the vista points. The weather is about freezing, with day time temperature hovering around 16 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jackson Hole is a small community of about a few thousand people at an altitude of about 6,250 feet. We spent the few hours of sunshine driving on the WY-22 pass, the small town of Wilson and the city center of Jackson Hole for some shopping. The small community is going to gather in a small park behind the hospital on Cache Street to usher in the new year 2008 with fire works and food.

It’s about 6:15 PM on December 31 2007, we are tucked in our cozy room in Painted Buffalo Inn and getting ready for the long 650 miles drive tomorrow to Laramie, WY – back on I-80 and heading east. It’s about to get 2 below zero Fahrenheit tonight. Many of the roads, including Route 26 is still closed in various places so we shall have to figure out our way to I-80 as we move ahead.
