Day 5 Muir Woods 6 Sept
Had a sleep in then had a lazy morning. We
booked on a tour to Muir Woods, 12 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. We
were the first to be picked up. It was a glorious day and when we arrived at
the Golden Gate it was visible!!!! The Muir Woods is a remnant of the ancient
coast redwood forests that covered many northern Californian valleys. The trees
were indeed giants but it was very dry. Must be a magical place in the mist and
rain as moss hangs on the trees and stumps. Arrived back at our hotel corner at
the time Marg and her family arrived back from a walk. Ended up having a few
drinks and dinner at the hotel.
Day 6
Sept 7 -San Francisco – Denver- Jackson Hole
Up at 3:45 AM to be ready for our flight.
Then the taxi didn’t arrive on time so it was a bit of a rush getting to the
airport. Planes ran to schedule and we arrived in Jackson Hole at 1.30 PM.
Picked up our car which is a Chrysler Town & Country and after much
agonizing we managed to get the back child restraint unhitched. Had a couple of
drives around the airport to ensure I had the car under control and off we
went. Had only gone about 5 miles when we thought there was a bear jam but it
was moose! Daddy, mummy and 2 babies. Couldn’t get too close.
Finally arrived at our accommodation then
went for a walk. It is a unique town. The park has arches at all 4 corners that
are made from antlers. Went into the Cowboy’s Bar for some drinks. It was
great!!! Bar stools were saddles. Should have seen short Marg G trying to get
onto the saddles!! Was a sight to behold. Followed this with a Wyoming Steak
that was really tasty.
