WCHP Helps Launch Historic Menor's Ferry
On July 13th, WCHP crew members Al Williams, Greg Dodson, Jeff Olson, Chris Frank, and Tim Green helped Grand Teton National Park launch the Menor's Ferry. The historic ferry was lifted by a front loader (slightly more horsepower than the traditional mule team...) and rolled on logs into the Snake River. Once in the water, the ferry was attached to the cable system which guides it across the river. The ferry is now operational and will be for the remainder of the summer season. Check out the WCHP project page for a description of recent preservation work in the Menor's Ferry Historic District.

My mother was at Half Moon Ranch on Cottonwood Creek between Moose and Jenny Lake on the east side of the road in the 1930's. I have photos then and also when I was there for three summers in the 1950's first as a camper , then a hired hand, and finally a camp cook on pack trips.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what happened to the ranch?
