Grand Tetons

here we are in grand tetons natl pk.. what a site the teton range is.. talked to german tourist and he said oh we have mts like this in europe, sure these are nice but no big deal.. perhaps they are all he says, but to be in front of these magnificent jagged peaks is my kind of spiritual connection, they speak to my soul with a subtle beauty and power that few other sights do.. mountains, especially high and beautiful ones tend to contain a special spiritual power.. the ascended masters speak of the tetons as being the shambala of the west, and opening from the spiritual realms to those tuned to its vibration.. it said that Lord Lanto is the hierarch of this western shambala, in one of his last incarnations he is said to be Confucius..

we saw our first moose grazing willow shoots along the snake river bridge leading into the teton visitor center, we thought he had the 12 to 4 shift for the tourists.. he/she appeared to be molting, or had a bad case of bed hair combined with hat hair..

stopped in jackson wyo on the way here and had lunch and walked around the square which is famous for its antler archways.. the elk antlers are from the elk preserve right outside town.. the boy scouts pick them up and sell them for fund raising after the bucks drop them.. caught a cute ground squirrel scurrying back into his hole as i was walking the square so i stood there to see if he would come back out and viola there he was as if he was posing for the tourists.. i took some shoots and that alerted the other camera toters around that there was something worth here and he stayed for some pictures and autographs before getting back to squirrel bidness..

one of the big warnings in the tetons is BE BEAR AWARE.. they have signs screwed down on the picnic tables at each site.. so this morning i hear the garbage truck picking up the bear proof dumpsters and it occurred to me that some advanced bears may be able to morph into garbage truck drivers' and hijack the dumpsters and take them back to the tribe for a summer feast.. nah.. maybe.. nah..

today we are off to yellowstone for five nights.. a fellow traveler told us ther was a minor eruption in one of the hot spots in yellowstone recently.. wouldn’t that be something to be here when the second big eruption occurs at yellowstone.. i guess it is possible, but if i had a vote it would likely be nyet..

there is still snow on the ground in shady places around the park and the workers have been working for only a week and the students are from all over the country and the Caribbean.. their uniforms are still new and have the creases in them, doubtless that will be the way after a few weeks..

More later,
