Jackson and snow

Today we drove 7 hours to Jackson, Wyoming. It rained for 5 hours of the 7 hour drive.  We (Cheri, Lung, Ashlyn, Betsy, and I)  invaded Pamela and Richards new home in Wyoming for a delicious meal of salad, bread, cheese, and beverages.
The lunch was perfect and the company even better.
Betsy and I are anxious to get started on our bike, the weather however is still not cooperating. The snow level appears to have moved down to about 7000 feet and we have to climb through 9000 feet enroute to Dubois.  I for one do not relish riding a bicycle pulling a trailer on snow pack, but time is starting to weigh on us to get this thing going. Lung has offered to drive us over the pass if it is open to cars, (it was closed today), if we would like. I would rather ride over the pass but I am tempted and may be forced to accept his generous offer. We will wait until later in the morning on Sunday to make our decision and may even preview the pass via Lung to determine if it can be done with some semblance of safety and sensibility. Forecast for Sunday is 70% snow showers with 2 to 8 inches possible in the pass. Hopefully the forecast is wrong. Happy Birthday Stacey, we love you and will see you in Atlanta.
