Grand Tetons & Jackson Hole, Wyoming


We stayed in a campground in the park that had no hook ups....and lots of sagebrush

A Moose came thru the campground..Snake River was right behind the campground and Moose like to graze near the rivers

Later in the day, we saw this Moose and her calf



What a snout!




There was a Mormon community here, and this is a home left behind when the park was expanded and they moved on




Lake Jenny and the Tetons





John Rockefeller bought 1100 acres in 1932, and deeded it later to his son Laurance who spent time here. In 2007, it was donated to the park. We hiked on a trail here.


We drove thru Teton Village..not the ski lift in the background



The ski lodge..we want to come back in the winter!




We stopped in for a drink at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. Steve had a Virginia Tech shirt on, and we met a couple there that had just moved from Blacksburg. We told him our daughter Katie is a trainer there, and the Dr. knew Katie and had worked with her! We called Katie and she said that he was the Spine Dr. that she wanted Steve to come see...so he asked about Steve's back problems. What a nice couple...they have moved to Wyoming where he grew up...small world.
The Bar is famous for the saddles they use for bar stools.




Jackson Hole corner of Cache and Broadway in the historic downtown


Blast from the past


I'm talking to Gloria and standing next to the antlers that make up the gateway to the park




Here's the Bar with a real cowboy riding by..

We left here Sunday and drove about 100 miles to Idaho Falls, Idaho to a campground with full hookups, internet and cell service..life is good!
