JACKSON LAKE LODGE – A VINTAGE POSTCARD

Postcard #3 in the Wyoming series

20091027 LODGE

This postcard was written by me to my Grandmother in 1959.  I was 22 years old, a college student, on a road trip with two of my friends.  We had driven from California to Colorado and Wyoming and were seeing the sights.  My message to my Grandmother sounds a bit like my teen-age years extended into my 20s.

The message I wrote is:  “Hi The cold weather of the Rockies go to us and we are staying in this lodge.  We are coming home a week early so have a cake for me (please) Jon”

The image is of the Great Room at Jackson Lake Lodge.  You enter this lodge at a lower level, walk up a massive staircase and suddenly this panorama of the Tetons appears before you.

This postcard was published by Intermountain Tourist Supply, there was no card number.
