Federalist:
JACKSON, WYO. — You can drive through the sprawling hills and snowy peaks of southeastern Idaho and cross the state line at Freedom, Wyoming — just north of Old Man Mountain. Turn left there, and take the two-lane Route 89 past horses, barns, ranch homes and log cabins until you meet a friend every fly fisherman in the country pines for: the Snake River. Follow that river east, winding through the 9,000-foot mountains until you find a valley that hearty mountain men of the 1820s, like David Jackson, called the hole. We know it as Jackson Hole, and to many, it’s the most beautiful place in the country.
Men like David Jackson were the first to ever stay through the winter here in the early 19th century. It would be another 50 years before any man permanently settled in the shadow of the 13,775-foot Grand Teton Mountain. Today, though, the valley attracts fisherman, ski bums and cowboys alongside billionaires and presidents — and they all come together in the little town center, at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.
A saloon since 1939, it’s just about the oldest business in Jackson, though a leather shop across the street might be older, John Davis, the night manager, tells us. At 73, he moved out here nearly 50 years ago, in the ’70s, to work on WWII planes being used to fight fires. He never left — except to travel the world, of course. He’s a master diver, pilot, classic Range Rover enthusiast and history buff who’s been from to Djibouti to the Galapagos to Solihull, England. “We read about ‘global epidemics’ in high school, like the Black Plague,” he tells us from behind a bandanna, leaning against the perfectly polished brass bar rail. “I don’t know when they started using that word ‘pandemic’ instead.” more here
Nice propaganda piece
Hey Larry… On your way to Fucking Off and Dieing, make sure you got that worthless mask on neat and tight.
“Today, though, the valley attracts Multimillionaire fisherman, Multimillionaire ski bums and Multimillionaire cowboys alongside Billionaires…”
You know, the Regular Folk.
Hey Mr. John Davis, the night manager,
Do you need a Bottle Washer apprentice? I can do it, but I need either a couple Mills for relocation and housing or at least $15 an hour. What do you say?
My favorite state, being gaslighted and corrupted by this commie scamdemic. Had hopes they had more sense in Wyoming – Sad.
I’m thinking Jackson Hole does not represent that state well. There’s more movie stars and rich Libtards living there than in SoCal. To bad. Beautiful place
No economy can survive with social distancing. If it continues, it will be the death of the U.S.
My favorite part of Wyoming is Absaroka County.
No society can survive with so much socioeconomic distancing. If it continues, it will be the death of the U.S.
Maybe the Rich will get it this time.
Or not.
Either way.
Enjoy.
That Acton money grubber that helped instigate a lot of this has been scrubbed from the internet.
Not one result about the 5 Billion he stole from all you simple folks money retirement market accounts.
Whats Up Zuck?

I live in this general region of the country. Wyoming is still a great state, but Jackson Hole is more progressive, so don’t judge the rest of the state by it. Grand Teton national park is beautiful, so I will continue to go thru Jackson Hole and stop at Bubba’s BBQ, but am very thankful I don’t live in JH.

LOL. Longmire got picked up by the Outdoor Channel. If you were a fan it’s great watching. The commercial are all about fishing and guns. Every Sunday night I believe.
Editor: “we need a snappy piece on how the worlds deadliest plague is affecting the little guy in flyover country.”
Reporter: “p…poor people?”
Editor: “WHAT!?!?! Hell no! Poor people are depressing. I need 2 pages and some giant pictures of the same building… find some place sexy.”

Ironically Longmire was not filmed in Wyoming. Most of it was filmed in New Mexico. The town square shots are of Las Vegas NM. Loved the show, BTW

I know. That was the point of Tony R. joke. And what they did film in Wyoming was filmed in Johnson County. Home of the Johnson County wars.
