About Me

I fell in love with Jackson Hole when first introduced to the area by the Butcher family. When I decided to spend the summer of '11 out here in JH, a former Pingry athlete, Katie Occhipinti, suggested I blog the adventure. I had no idea what a blog was but Katie O set the whole thing up and got me on my way. Last summer was a tremendous experience. The blog details all the great fun I shared with friends from June '11 - Oct. '11. Even before I left to head back to SRQ, I knew I wanted more of JH. I am now back in JH for "Adventure Summer Round Two!" Many friends have encouraged me to continue the blog this summer ...... so here we go! I arrived to town on June 12th and immediately felt at home. I am looking forward to another summer of hiking, biking and visits from friends. I once again look forward to sharing this experience with all of my friends who have planned to visit me out here. I also look forward to sharing the experience with my friends who follow this blog. Enjoy the pictures and the adventure. Happy summer to everyone!

Just Another Day at the Ranch

Nothing new to report.  Tuesday and Wednesday were regular ole days at the ranch.  Just when our trips were booking up a bit, we had high wind advisories this afternoon which forced us to cancel all of our float trips scheduled for after 1:00pm.  Cancelling a float trip reminded me of cancelling an athletic event.  I had to call all the clients, raft guides and van drivers to let them know that the afternoon trips were cancelled due to high wind advisories.  With the cancellation of the afternoon and evening trips, my shift ended about an hour early.  The wranglers had just put the horses out to graze on the front acreage, forcing me to drive right through the middle of them.  The horses did not seem bothered one bit.

I am eagerly awaiting the Thursday night arrival of Kate Murphy and her friends from San Diego!  Should be a busy and great 4th of July weekend with all of them joining me on the Jackson Hole Adventure!
