Day 8 we got up and had our usual coffee. Unfortunately,
something blew when I started up the grinder while the electric
kettle was heating. After lots of fooling around with the GFCI
and the shore power, the only way I could get things to work was
by running a 110 V extension cord from the site pedestal in
through the trailer window. Ugh.
Once we were done with breakfast and coffee, I tried to fix the
power issue. The basic problem was the GFCI outlet had tripped,
and I’d been unable to reset it. I’d also disconnected and
reconnected to the park power, but no joy. Thinking the outlet
itself may have been at fault, I bought a new one in town and
replaced the outlet. It would not work either, so I gave up for
the day.
At that point, we hauled the tandem over to Jenny Lake Visitor
Center. I’d found a roughly 40-mile route online that seemed
within our ability; unfortunately, the distance from Jenny Lake
was more than I expected, so we ended up doing almost 50 miles and
we were whupped when we got back…

FWIW, I was not that impressed by Jackson. It seemed crowded and
hectic, without the charm of places like Moab. The NP itself was
beautiful, though.
