Clinton To Vacation In Wyoming

Goodbye, summer glitz. Hello, chuck wagon dinners.

After two summers hobnobbing on Martha’s Vineyard, President Clinton and his family will vacation this year in Wyoming, a state with five people per square mile.

President Clinton is about to become Jackson Hole’s own Dude Clinton.

“The only thing I can say is there better be a golf course somewhere,” White House spokesman Mike McCurry joked Tuesday as he announced the first family’s August vacation plans.

Not to fear.

Jackson Hole, a high valley ringed by the spectacular Grand Tetons, offers two 18-hole golf courses, both of which made a Golf Digest ranking of the nation’s top 10 resort courses.

It also has 80 restaurants, many featuring gourmet wild game dishes, 40 art galleries, eclectic shopping, its own share of celebrities (such as Harrison Ford) and politicos (former Secretary of State James Baker).
