[Cdt-l] Pinedale to S Pass City, also Lander

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

couple days late--w/all 3 of my Bros...
 
PINEDALE:
1. Yogi, et  all: Teton Court & Blue Moon Lodge are definitely out of 
business;  walked by 7 AM Sun on way to breakfast @ Heart & Soul; BML had "out of 
 business" sign on office door; no cars, lights, nuthin' at Teton Court  
either.
 
PINEDALE to S PASS CITY:
1. A few more fords on way to SPC, none over shin deep  this year.
2. Virga, light rain, and threats every day but last; med  rain & 1/4" hail 
one nite in tent.
3. Combo of markers, no markers--the usual generally poor  CDT marking this 
last section; pay attention to the letters at the end of the  JBrn 
waypoints. (I sure as hell don't think one should have to use a GPS to stay  on a 
trail, esp a National Scenic Trail.)
4. 2 of my 3 Bros picked me up at the end, so no comments  on SPC; I was 
driven away at 8PM dusk, roughly, w/a beer in my hand--a truly  happy camper!
 
LANDER:
1. Yogi, et all: We drove to  Lander; I walked into the Holiday Lodge, 
w/Yogi's pages in hand; met a very nice  Rick Clark, who charged the 3 of us $80 
total, a definite discount from 2013  prices. That included a roll away bed 
for me--a definite step up from a  ThermaRest pad don't forget. My Bros 
said the mattresses were the best  motel/hotel ones they'd ever slept on. The 
next morning Barb Clark and I had a  very nice conversation. They have a 
continental breakfast, and now a lobby  computer for guests. .
