Real estate in Jackson Hole tends to be expensive, but here's some bargain property! Last Friday, this parcel had a lovely view of the Snake River. By Sunday, it was riverfront property, and since then, it's been heading downstream...
What doesn't end up in the Snake is being hauled off by the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The heavy winter snowpack and wet spring caused this drainage to slide off the hillside, blocking Highway 89/26 between Hoback Junction and Alpine. The slide covers 300 feet of the highway, is 40 feet high, and extends over 2,000 feet from the top of the slide to the river. Highway engineers estimate it will take a week to clear it off the road, once the slide quits moving. At one point it was moving at a foot per minute, but as of today, it was down to a foot per hour.
So is it still real estate if it's moving?
