Grand Tetons National Park - Gros Ventre Campground

[Montalaskan]

Davigilante,

Thank you for those pictures, you just made me extremely homesick. I grew up in Star Valley and hunted/hiked/camped all through Gros Ventre (Grovaant as the locals call it) and the surrounding areas (Tetons/JellyStone,etc).

Those are some great pictures, one of these days I will get smart enough to move back. Until then it is nice to see people's pictures.

I've always wondered why they pronounce "Gros Ventre" in a way a Frenchman would recognize, but "Dubois" in a way that would make a Frenchman stick forks in his eyes.

Sounds and looks like you had a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

French trappers first settled the area many moons ago..and lots of french names scattered all over the west by the French explorers as well as Spanish.

Right, so it should be Dew-bwah, not Dew-Boys.

I'm just relieved I didn't hear anyone say "Gross Ventures" this trip!

Nice pics and report... Thanks for sharing. (After the pie, you might have slept in the hammock over the bushes. I know I would have.)

If you've ever had the buttermilk pie at Bubba's, you know the sugar coma wouldn't be far behind.

Great story and pictures. I fished that area about 7 years ago. It is beautiful. You are a lucky man to live there.
