Boy Scout Antlers. The Jackson to Jenny Lake to Wilson to Victor to Alpine to Jackson loop

The Boy Scouts of Jackson, WY have a great deal going on. The Scouts control rights to collect and sell elk antlers that are shed in the National Elk Refuge, which is HUGE. Last year, the Scouts gathered 6,514 pounds of antlers and sold them for $61,761. Rumor is that they have  collected millions via antler sales over the years.

I read that on a hockey card, so I cannot verify the data.

The route today was north from Jackson towards Yellowstone, wait 30 minutes for "road construction"  (5 guys doing nothing on side of the road), then take side road back towards Jenny Lake.  Stop and take pictures, rest and then continue the loop. Take twisty road  to Wilson, turn right towards Idaho and either put on snow chains or knobbies. Keep climbing hills until you can't breathe or your pants are soiled from decent into awesome gorges. Then head for Victor, ID, Alpine, back over the mountains to Jackson.

A few Picts and then the story continues.

Oh, no not a good time to ride.
