Day 3 on the 7 day winter cross country drive from California to New York, and we reached Jackson Hole, WY around 6:15 PM Mountain time, just when the sky got dark and snow started to fall. Jackson Hole is a small deviation on our trip from the West to the East coast on Route 80 east. More so because ever since our first cross country drive in 2003 December, I have always wanted to come back to Wyoming in winter.

The road had been ice with very gusty cross winds, sometimes reaching 50 mph. You could hear the winds howl and try to sweep you off your feet. But the 300 mile drive from our last stop in Salt Lake City, UT to Jackson Hole in Wyoming, was mostly in the sun with some occasional snow and storm and some rain.

Our day ended after a fabulous dinner in a local favorite, Bubba’s and in the coziness of our home in Painted Bear Inn for the coming two nights in Jackson Hole.
