I'm goin' to
Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to
Jackson,
Look out Jackson
town. – Song “Jackson” ; Billy Ed Wheeler and Jerry Leiber.
Okay, the song that Johnny Cash made famous wasn’t
referring to Jackson, Wyoming but the tune rambled through my head as we made
our drive.
It was a long pull getting to Jackson, Wyoming from
Fernley, Nevada where we spent our first night.
Fourteen hours on the road but not all of it driving. We stopped for photos, for food, for coffee,
water or soda. We stopped to stretch and
we stopped to relieve ourselves of the coffee, water and soda. We left Fernley in the black of the morning
and arrived in Jackson in what seemed a blacker night.
