About time for a new 24/25 Homeland Thread, yes?

I think it is time. You should do the honors!

[rideit]

To hot box that shack?

Is the elephant tree still standing?

That remains to be seen. Those guys are all about mowing down trees.

Daaayuuum, that's good thinking Rideit. I have a lot of firsts (and lasts) and that would be a good one. Kinda doubt No one has seshed in it yet. Prolly coulda done it while it sat in the field.
Rope/Chairs must be hung as they've been off the deck for days now.

Thanks Kevo, I'll bust out a freshie here asap unless anyone else is jonesing to bring it in.

Fancy. Where is it compared to the old one? Looks like the same spot?

Almost the same spot, about 50-100' downhill. Turn left and curl back to tensleep instead of cranking right, immediately offa the chair.
It goes up the same line with a slight tweak. More looker's right placement at the base, a tad left at the top. A coupla questionable tower placements but whatevs. Those fucks don't ski anyway.

We were just saying how amazing it is to see the Tetons from the dunes

No way....

[Norseman]

shit. rip, cool mama

[NBABUCKS1]

this one hurts. A legend of a mom and was able to balance the delicate balance of being a bear but also being in an urban area. Her PBS special I saw recently was great. So sad to see her go this way.

Outsourcing your employee housing has it's costs. Sucks.

[rideit]

Possibly the best mom ever in Teton history.

[plugboots]

Good one.
Yeah, this really sucks. I always kind of worried about her when she took to being near roads and out in the public to keep the males away.

It sucks but people should know that was not a normal bear. She was Jackson's pet bear. Her behavior, territory, enormous litters and longevity were mostly due to the fact that people fed her. Which, of course, led to a need to constantly monitor and protect her. And that could only succeed for so long. It's surprising she lasted as long as she did.

To your point, I heard she attacked a guy near a lodge in the park 10 years ago or so, was on top of him showing her cubs how to hunt when a truck drove by, scaring her off of him. Not sure if that is public or in that documentary?

She injured someone who disturbed her on a dead elk. Grizzlies are rarely euthanized if the victim surprises the animal on a natural carcass. That's normal behavior, even if it happens right next to a lodge.

It was her later life as a food habituated animal kept around to amuse humans that deserves more scrutiny.

[rideit]

So…never meet your heroes?

[neckdeep]

Just sayin', nothing but dumb luck this didn't happen years ago. But it didn't so maybe people came away with the wrong lessons with what will eventually happen when you feed the bears. Dont forget, several of her cubs from later litters got killed because they learned to hang around roads and eat trash.

I used to live up in the woods and I saw my share of bears checking out the cabin and tossing my garbage can around. At night! Bear 399 and her cubs were so habituated to human food sources that they were feeding off of porches in broad daylight.

A "food habituated animal kept around to amuse humans"?

Actually, I never liked Elvis....

[bearcub69]

Still no way for an animal to go. It's incredible how many wild animals pass away, but this one was felt around the world.
RIP mama bear, let the legacy live on.

[Djongo Unchained]

Man.


I got so much to say about 399. Big sadness over here.

Crazy timing but just flew on Delta back to VT yesterday - they had the '399 Queen of the Teton's' documentary for a movie choice. Was a great watch if you havent seen it yet.... She had one helluva run

Nice outdoor couch (not mine). Cheaper than crate and barrel I guess

If that balcony and chair are both truly supported by that cantilever, well, it's a bit suspect.

Cool workup for the chair although it doesn't appear to swing.
