Another Great Evening

Hi All,

After a day of shopping and chores, we met up with Walt & Betty for a great evening.

First stop was Dornan's where we enjoyed this view as we had dinner.


We then went to the Craig Thomas Visitor Center for a presentation by former Jenny Lake Ranger Doug Leen. Ranger Doug has developed a passion for the preservation of National Park posters produced by the WPA in the late 30's and early 40's.

His rambling but fascinating presentation explored the WPA Poster Program with emphasis on the 14 National Park posters that were created. Examples of only 12 have survived. Check out these iconic screen printed posters at rangerdoug.org.

Back outside we were greeted by more stunning mountain vistas with fresh snowfall.

From Craig Thomas we drove north along the Teton Park Road in search of elk. We did not have to go far. South of the Windy Point turnout the "jam" appeared.

In the distance we spotted more than 50 elk including one big bull with at least 16 cows in his "harem".

Further north we found no more elk but the sky and mountains were breathtaking.
We sure are going to miss this place but with overnight temps in the low 30's, the time is coming.

Love,
