Aside from the turkey skin, I'm done! God that was good! Just what I needed. The meal is a total-thumbs-up experience!

The meal is over and now it's time to slip the cracker/jelly booty into my pocket. It took a lot of past practice to perfectly execute the maneuver in a single, sweeping motion.

Night has arrived when I return to the van. Feeling rather dirty from the day's activities, I give myself a washcloth bath (in the van of course) and put on a fresh change of clothes.

The drive to Jackson, WY really sucks. I would have preferred to just crash in the parking lot but that is illegal. So I can either go back to Gardiner, MT and risk getting busted again for car-camping or push on southward to Jackson which is what I do. I'm sleepy on the entire drive down and that big belly of food isn't helping the situation at all. In the end I persevere and make it to Jackson by 1am. After a little driving around I find a good place and bed down for the night.
