Postcard #3 in the Wyoming series
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.
