The majestic Teton Range rises impressively along the
western edge of the scenic valley known as Jackson Hole. There are several
glacial lakes at its base so we decided to put the wooden northeastern dory JR
built into Jenny Lake for a morning row.

The dory appears much like an Adirondack guide boat with JR as the oarsman. The custom designed seat for comfort at the stern is referred to as Christa’s throne. The boat has a rudder, tiller, and mast that can be attached for sailing as well.

Now this is the indeed the "Good Life" on a pristine lake being rowed and under shade
Beneath the grandeur of the Teton snow covered, rugged peaks and blue skies on this little jewel of a pristine lake we reveled in the natural beauty of the spectacular mountain landscape surrounding us. |

| Team effort by some kayakers on the move |
Jenny Lake and the wilderness offer outstanding opportunities
for solitude and a primitive and unconfined type of recreation.

Later in the
mid afternoon a fifty-six mile scenic drive through Jackson Hole Valley and a walk
in several of the fine art galleries in the vibrant ski resort town of Jackson
enhanced the day. It furthered inspiration and wonder over the majesty of the
region.
