Maybe so, but a sufficient dedication to the latter still makes the former
much more tolerable......when necessary

Hilarious, and so true. :-) As for the original point -- when
SWMBO and I were in Montana, we made the drive from Raynold's Pass to
Jackson just for the hell of it. It was wonderful; seeing the Tetons in
the distance, driving across Henry's Fork and seeing Lawson's flyshop,
the Railroad Ranch, etc. The only problem was when we got to Jackson
itself, and saw that it looked like a yuppie western theme park. We
immediately circled the wagons and got out of Dodge.

On the way back we took the Teton Scenic Bypass (or whatever the
hell the loop is called), which took us past the Warm River, and into
Cardiac Canyon and Upper Mesa Falls. Stunning scenery all along the way.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

that one and the run into the GSMNP from Robbinsville just seem like a
nice way to pass the time)
