We didn't get up too early this morning. Just another lazy day in the snow!
I forgot you haven't met Eddie and Susan so that's them in the picture at the church.
We decided to meet Eddie and Susan as their hotel and get some lunch. We decided we'd eat at the Sidewinder Restaurant in Jackson Hole. It was a little before noon when we got there and the young lady asked us how many. Before we could tell her "four," some guy comes running through and telling her to hold up putting people at the table. We could easily see the kitchen area and he's ran in there ranting and raving! It was like an episode of "Hell's Kitchen!" He's yelling at the cooks and the servers! Another woman tried to seat us and he yelled at her! He finally got every one's attention and yelled out, "I've got 50 people in another room who haven't ordered yet so you can leave or stay. I don't care." We decided to stay to see what happened next!
We finally got a table and ordered. Susan and Eddie ordered sweet potato fries, but got regular fries. Otherwise our orders were correct and good! At some point in the meal, we noticed that "sneaker guy" wasn't wandering around yelling anymore. Not sure where he went. Everyone kept their cool except him.
Off to the park again! We drove through many of the loops and roads as it was our last full day here until Monday. We spotted three moose at Gross Ventures Junction - pronounced "Grow Vahnt" by most.
We spotted lots of elk, buffalo/bison (David and I still disagree on this term - I say buffalo....he says bison!), and snow melt. Some roads are closed because of high water.
Headed back for reading time and movie: Reading a biography on Teddy Roosevelt and watching "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee."
See ya down the road!

From Wikipedia:
Bison is a taxonomic group containing six species of large even-toed ungulates within the subfamily Bovinae. Only two of these species still exist: the American bison (B. bison) and the European bison, or wisent (B. bonasus), each with two subspecies.
In American Western culture, the bison is commonly referred to as "buffalo"; however, this is a misnomer: though both bison and buffalo belong to the Bovidae family, the term "buffalo" properly applies only to the Asian water buffalo and African buffalo. The gaur, a large, thick-coated ox found in Asia, is also known as the "Indian bison", although it is in the genus Bos and thus not a true bison.
Make sure David knows he wins.
