On the penultimate day of 2020 the Teton Board of County Commissioners signed off on the vacation of the old Packsaddle Road and the dedication of its replacement, wrapping up a conversation that started in 2014. “Does anyone have the champagne?” asked attorney Sean Moulton after the final approval during a special meeting on Dec. 30.
