Jackson Lake. Grand Teton NP, Wyoming. 2017

A placid, deep green lake with jagged, snow covered mountains in the distance. A blue sky with some wispy white clouds.

It was one of the best unplanned finds. Scenery all around. A Ryker could get in with no problem.

Here’s a really great BLM dispersed campsite near Newspaper Rock. Not sure how it got the name but it’s fitting.

To be fair, it’s really click bait wording for YT views. It’s a reaction to recently departed CEO’s comments on how their business model was unsustainable. Can’t remember if he said that before or after he left.

Uncertain times all around.

What’s your take on the coming Porsche, “collapse” I’ve been seeing so much about recently?

The only campfire soundtrack I like more are loons. Ever been up to the Adirondacks? We’d camp and canoe there when I was a kid. Unforgettable sound.

Apparently they migrate through NV. I understand it’s decreased substantially. Never seen heard one myself.

Next up, coffee.
