 Jackson
Hole, originally called Jackson's Hole, is
a valley located in the U.S. state of Wyoming, near the western border
with Idaho. The name "hole" derives from language used by early
trappers or mountain men, who primarily entered the valley from the
north and east and had to descend along relatively steep slopes, giving
the sensation of entering a hole. These low-lying valleys are surrounded
by mountains and contain rivers and streams, which were good habitat
for beaver and other fur-bearing animals.

Below: The town square in Jackson had large
elk antler arches that curved over the square's four corner entrances
(see the two RV Gypsies under the arches in the photos below). The antlers
have been there since the early 1960s, and new arches are assembled
to replace them when necessary. One of the original arches sits in a
vacant lot on the way into town. Antlers are solid and fall off of animals
naturally and the animals grow new sets every year. This contrasts with
horns, which have to be sawed off but then are hollow. |

Below: The Town Square Veterans Monument is located
in the center of the Jackson Hole Town Square surrounded by Broadway,
North Cache, Center and Deloney Streets in the Heart of Jackson, Wyoming.
The monument honors area service personnel who have honorably served
in all wars beginning with World War I through the current Desert Storm.
It lists by war era local citizens who served honorably and were either
born or resided in Teton County more than 25 years. Dedicated in 1976,
the monument is topped by a bronze statue of the famed Wyoming Bucking
Bronco State Symbol "Steamboat." Jackson Hole Post 43 American
Legion Chartered 1920 is responsible for all aspects of the monument.
Memorial War Eras include the Persian Gulf, Panama, Lebanon/Grenada,
Vietnam, Korea, WWII and WWI |

Below: Across the street from the town square is the
iconic Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. The two RV Gypsies did not
utilize the bar because they were not really here long enough to catch
a show. But they do like to inform visitors about things in the area. |
