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.
