No snow at our campsite, but very cold and damp. The rain stopped so we packed up the trailer and went for breakfast at the General Store. There we learned that several of the northern and eastern passes out of the park were closed by the snow. After breakfast we headed out without any bison jams. Going south, we had snow, and more so the higher we went, but the roads were clear. The snow was wet and it looked like a Christmas scene with the snow on the top of the pine and fir branches.
We came down slightly in elevation and entered Grand Teton National Park. You could catch glimpses of the Teton peaks, snow covered. Cloud were blowing in front of the mountains and as our friends in Europe would say, the mountains are sleeping. We didn't stop for pictures. We reached the park visitor center, where we had cell service and learned Mary was fading quickly. We made the decision to leave Teton tomorrow to head back to Chicago.
We found our campsite; it was so-so. Very nice Italian restaurant next to campground where we had a nice dinner as the weather cleared. Getting cold again at night, but tonite we have electric service, so better heat.
