1. We ate dinner on Friday night in the dining room of the Jackson Hot Springs Lodge. (They don't allow their tent campers to deploy stoves. I wonder why...?) A sign above the door lists the maximum capacity of the room as 38. Which means that exactly everyone who lives in Jackson could eat there at the same time, but no one could bring a guest.
2. There's live music at the Lodge tonight -- The Congress is playing, to a crowd that I would estimate is solidly in double figures (i.e., high teens, 20, maybe more). They're pretty good -- R&B, country, a little reggae, some jazzy stuff. I talked to the band members just before the 9:00 show time -- they seem like nice guys, trying hard to make it, having a good time touring, and they had the grace to be impressed with the X-C bike ride. I told them not to be offended when I walked out after 15-20 minutes of the show; they said they understood. The lead singer actually gave our group (Dennis, Kath, Robin, and I were the only members in attendance) a nice little shout out from the stage, and I got waves/nods/thumbs up as I left to call it a day. But here it is, 9:45, and I'm out in my tent in the Lodge's back yard, and the music is loud, and I JUST WANT TO GO TO SLEEP. BTW, if they don't name an album "In Session" then they don't deserve to make it big.
