Monday at Noon

The stained glass at the Chapel of the Transfiguration is absolutely stunning. 
I went there today and felt some great unburdening tranquility.  Beautiful things like this
help me set aside my worldly troubles; and I can get so lost in the mosaic beauty of stained glass
in a way that no other visual art approaches for me.

From there it is 0.1 miles of walking to this complex of rustic historic cabins: Maud Noble cabin, smokehouse, and a well.  Very quiet and humbling out there.

Nara observes the historical vehicles of Teton's past.  There is a neat buggy that was one of the first generation vehicles used to give tours at Yellowstone.  Just thinking about those old days of crinoline, bodices, and dog mills... it's like taking a step into The Shining.

I met Heather here at the General Supplies store.  She sold me sarsaparilla and let me play
with her triangle.  There are a lot of interesting goods and artifacts in that house, including
some soiled pajamas and a chair made out of antlers.  Even Heather herself is
bedecked in fetching garments of yesteryear–by which I mean the 1800s.  

 
I recommend a trip out to Menor's Ferry and the Chapel of Transfiguration to all SCA people.  Heather is great to chat with, and you will definitely leave with an interesting thought in your head afterward.
