We packed up our stuff and left Pat's house after a fun time in Wyoming. He was a great host. Turns out that a bear had been on his property on Saturday evening while we were having dinner at the dude ranch in Turpin Flats. Found out on Tuesday or Wednesday. The drive to Mustang Ridge Campground was uneventful. We stopped in Jackson to get groceries at the Albertson's, and it took us quite a while. Then we stopped for a couple of items at the Walmart in Rock Ridge. We were going to walk to a McDonald's for ice cream, but it was too far and hard to get to by driving, so we got ice cream at a convenience store instead. Not so great. Ann drove for a while, but I took over for the last stretch. We didn't get to the campsite until a little before 4:00. Set up camp and endured a brief rainfall before cooking dinner. It was grilled vegetables and chicken, and it was tasty. Toasted some marshmallows and then to sleep.
