Reaching back in time -- lunch counters in drug stores

Okay, so maybe most of you that read my blog don't remember lunch counters, but I certainly do.  Here in Driggs there is a real "corner drug".  It's an old place that still serves ice cream at the original counter.  We went there today for hand dipped and churned milkshakes.  They sure were good.  Our intent was to stop by the snowcone stand, but it turns out that stand only opens when they needs money.  
After that we went out to the Big Hole Mountains and rode on the deserted, bumpy, dirt roads.  The Big Holes form the western edge of Teton Valley.  We were up pretty high in the hills and it was another beautiful drive.  We've seen so much gorgeous scenery in the past two weeks.  It would be difficult to say what my favorite spot is.
Other than Yellowstone, we have been in Grand Teton National Park; The Targhee National Forest; Harriman State Park and The Grand Targhee Ski Resort.
