Run to Mormon Row

Fallen down structure, no longer out standing in its field.

This is a former settlement now within the confines of Grand Teton National Park. It was just down the road from our campground at Gros Ventre, where we stayed the last 2 nights. According to our rafting guide, Gros Ventre means big belly in French. When the local tribes made a hand sign to trappers to tell them where they were from, they ran their hand down their body has if describing “where the water falls.” But to the French, it looked like they were describing a fat guy.

Whichever way the wind blows..

Thanks to Annie and Carl for recommending this run!
