Hillary’s Done (so is Teton Meadows)

The Snake River by the Wilson Bridge finally turned green/brown today. I don't think it’s going to fishable again until mid July. According to the Raymer plot measurement, there is still 100″ base at 9300′. That’s A LOT of snow to melt.
Apparently, the 3.6 acre lot just south of the Tram Tower Condo’s , which includes part of the area you ski through to get to the Tram, VC etc. , sold for over $50,000,000. (yes FIFTY MILLION!!) I'm not sure if it’s true, but there’s a lot of rumors from different sources floating around. At that price for 3.6 acres, I have absolutely no idea what can go there to make it work. (I've also heard that those same Buyers are now focusing on a 5.6 acre piece that includes part of the upper lot and the land above it. Not sure which is true, but it’s all kind of interesting)
Here’s a shot of With the prices things are going for, I wonder how long the Elks Lodge, on the corner of Broadway and Jackson, can hold out.
It looks like Teton Meadows is dead. The moratorium was the final nail but I was told the developer was going to let the contract expire anyway. It’s too bad because I thought there were some good ideas there but in the end I think it was a little too big and clearly the timing was wrong. Being an out of town developer certainly didn't help either. As for the moratorium, I personally think it’s kind of a cop out. If the commissioners feel a project is too big, or too dense or whatever, they can just say no. It’s not always easy, I know that, but that is their job. I give credit to Andy and Bill for voting against it. Anyway, it’s in place now, until the end of 2008 and probably beyond that. And if you don't think this is a shot across the bow against affordable housing then I don't think you're paying attention.
The people most upset about Teton Meadows cratering may be the publishers at the JH News and Guide. They pay a lot of bills with all the money Save Historic Jackson Hole spends in promoting no growth in their full page ad campaigns. Some people have suggested that the paper stirs the pot on these issues just to get some of that ad money. I don't think the paper would ever do that…
From last nights Dodgers-Muts game. Michael Jackson hangs his kid over a ledge, and he a psychopath, this guy puts his kid in harms way, a baby’s head is like an eggshell, and he winds up on Sports Center!

As much as I hate to say anything positive about the Red Sox, I have to admit that Manny Ramirez is amazing. He’s sort of the John Nash of baseball.
And, it just broke my little heart to see “Crazy” Jon Papelbon get dinged for 2 runs in the bottom and the loss in the bottom of the ninth in last nights Sox’s game.
More soon…
