Yesterdayās video failed to upload. Weāll see how this one does.it was called āby the fireā¦with no fireā
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
āThe āBig Titsāā
Which is the English translation of āGrand Tetonsā
Key Facts (via GROK)
ā¢ Size: Approximately 310,000 acres (about 485 square miles / 1,300 kmĀ²).
ā¢ Established: 1929 (protecting the main peaks); expanded in 1950 to include most of the former Jackson Hole National Monument.
ā¢ Highest point: Grand Teton at 13,775 feet (4,199 m). It rises more than 7,000 feet above the valley floor of Jackson Hole, creating one of the most abrupt and photogenic mountain fronts in the Rockies.
ā¢ Range: The Teton Range runs roughly 40 miles north-south and 7ā9 miles wide. Other notable peaks include Mount Owen, Middle Teton, South Teton, Teewinot, and Mount Moran. ļæ¼
The name āTetonā comes from French fur trappers who called the three prominent peaks Les Trois TĆ©tons (āthe three breastsā). Local Shoshone people referred to the range with terms related to many pinnacles.
āThe Oregon Trailā
This is behind a rest area on I-86 (the 86 for you Californians), near Coldwater ID.
The Oregon and California trails split at the āHudspeth Cutoffā, approximately 10 miles (or a day via wagon) further.
Picture: This marker is in the middle of the trails. The second picture shows the āruts or swalesā carved by the wagons
