February 26, 1929 was the day President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill creating Grand Teton National Park. Native Americans might not see the “Big 80” as such a big deal. Their ancestors are known to have summered in Lupine Meadows 12,000 years ago. And who could blame them? Three great rivers of the American West all have major tributaries with headwaters in the mountains around Jackson Hole. Water meant life in the West then as it does today. The Mountain Men, beginning with John Colter, arrived in the first half of the nineteenth century. Later days brought such trappers and explorers as Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger and David (Davey) Jackson for whom the valley, or hole, was named. The late 1800s saw British men of leisure – gentleman hunters – trekking about the countryside with “an eye for the curious and beautiful,” wrote Jack Turner in his book Teewinot. No better words than curious and beautiful could be applied to the Teton Mountain Range as its glorious protrusions skirt the sky in close-up view of all passersby. You can return again and again for… well, twelve thousand years, and the range will never look the same. It is now possible to gain greater understanding of the park environment and enjoy your time in the Tetons even more by spending time with what Turner calls the “most recent tribes” – rangers and guides.

Lee has made a lot of changes in the past 2 years. Those of you that missed the opportunity to see it really missed out. The Division attendance at this Layout Tour represents approximately 13 % of the total in our Division. Honestly that is not a great showing for a layout tour that several people worked hard to host. Our attendance at a typical Monthly Event is usually about 20% of the Division eligible members. Again not a great showing. Your Board of Directors has solicited inputs from each of you to insure that we provide what you want. If we are falling short in some way, please tell us!
