For Mike G.

The elk antler arches now stand at all four corners of the Jackson city square. A brass plaque explains that the antlers are collected after the shed by the local Boy Scouts, with many additional ones auctioned off for charity. 

One arch on the right, opposite the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. Hank Williams, Jr. played there not long ago, and it has many artifacts from the great years of Outlaw Country as well as the Old West.

Another arch from inside the square. Today there was a busker playing Waylon Jennings outside it, which drew a donation from me.

    If you happen to get over to IF, Guns & Gear has an indoor range that is a true godsend between mid-October and mid-April for those of us who like some kinetic therapy more-or less regularly. I'd be glad to get you in there as a guest. A small payment for the gift of your Blog.

      Thank you! That’s very generous. If I make it out there, I will definitely take you up on it.

    Those arches are a lot more dense than when I last saw them.

      Same. But the last time I was in Jackson was, ah, at least twenty-five years ago. It had just finished shifting from "Wyoming town near national parks, park and people oriented" to something closer to "California with elk."

      The mountains are still beautiful.

    If you do make it over here, bear in mind that I don't check my gmail very often. I will try to pay closer attention for the next week or two.

      Thank you, Frank. I’ll be in the Yellowstone for the next three days. If I’m able to get out to IF, it’ll not be before the weekend.
