Seriously fake news.

I was just there a week ago. There was no mass hysteria.

Jackson Hole in itself is pretty much a run o the mill tourist stop. Great scenery but ... oh well.

Good news. The American economy is roaring back. The “vacation destination” resorts in San Diego are packed, from what I learned from friends.

The article from the National Geographic is excessively emotional and fearful. “The stress is unbelievable.” NG is a rag.

Grow up and be true to the outdoor lifestyle: fearless. Virus cases are increasing is good, since increasing virus cases is a signal of herd immunity. Kids don’t get killed by Covid-19 unless they eat twinkies, play computer games and drink cokes all day.

Relax. The Covid-19 death rate is less than 20% where it was on April 30.

Good news. Americans are traveling domestically. Bad news. Rome, London and Paris are hurting for American tourists, big time. Sad that international flights are empty and expensive.

Me too. In summer it’s nothing special. We went in through Bozeman, a darling little town at the time.

as always, actual work is never rewarded financially...

Just got back today from a long weekend. It was crowded everywhere, more so than ever before. Tetons were beautiful as usual. Great hiking and rafting.

The mountains around (above :-) )Jackson Hole are spectacular—we spent a lot of time hiking in them when we were there.

$100 hotel rooms going for $400. You can’t get a restaurant reservation until the first week of August. The “Million Dollar Cowboy Bar” is closed.

My wife and I were there last weekend.

"There won’t be that many posts. New York can’t be blamed this time :-)

Well I’m sure some will figure a way :-)"

Yep... Sort of like when you detect a rancid stench and then see a pile of dog poop nearby, it's always easy to blame the dog...{:-)

Spent a day there while staying a few nights in the Teton Village. The Bar T 5 Cover Wagon Dinner was fun, great for kids. Rafted the Snake River, of course took in Yellowstone. Thoroughly enjoyable trip other than the drive in from Salt Lake City were we flew in to.

"In May, a mass community testing event of 1,346 Jackson residents turned up negative results. Less than two months later, the valley’s case numbers have tripled in a single week"

So 3 times 0 = tripled 0?

Cuomo and De Blasio are punishment enough for New Yorkers.
Stay healthy.

Under $300.00 round trip flights to Jackson Hole, that use to be around $1,000.00 is a reason.

Just came back from Yellowstone. Nightmare, TOO MANY PEOPLE...and only a few mask wearers. Incidentally, Montana has a statewide mask order, yet once you cross the front door, NO ONE wears a mask. This is all phony.
