This is the first in a series of vintage postcards from Wyoming. I had hoped to post some Halloween postcards this week but when I checked my collection, I found that I had used them all in prior years.
This postcard is postmarked 1950 and is addressed (I guess) to my Aunt Loretta and Uncle, Ted Englehart. The address is a bit confusing though. It looks like Uncle Ted was an afterthought.
The message is hard to read but I’ll give it my best shot. “Sept 7, 50 Dearest Sis & all: We are having breakfast at the Old Faithful Cafeteria & having a nice trip. Today we expect to go fishing & see some of the Falls here. Yesterday we saw a lot of the Geysers & are they odd. Everywhere you walk is a hot place in the ground. Give some of the chocolate (?) to Alma & Ray, Leta will you please. Hope you like it. Lots of Love Vi & Casey”
The title on the postcard is Main Lodge at Square G Ranch, Jenny Lake, Grand Teton N.P. The lodge looks like Jenny Lake Lodge – My wife & I stayed there once in the 60s, maybe it changed it’s name.
There is no publisher or card number listed.
