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!

Life is Good! I Should Say Life is Great!

Today was great.  The weather was perfect and that started off all of the greatness.  I worked the early shift (7:00am - 1:00pm) and left the office in time to enjoy a bit of a nap in the sun on the back deck.  Did I mention it was 70 degrees and no humidity?  After my nap it was off to the tennis club for a few hours of Tuesday Night Men's Doubles.  Yep....I was able to talk my way into that group and it was fun/good tennis.  Since it is the longest day of the year, HAPPY SUMMER SOLISTICE, there was time for a cold beer on the deck to enjoy more of the beautiful sunshine.  Did I mention it was 70 degrees and no humidity?  Life is good!

pictures of my friend Katherine and her
nephew Turner white water rafting down the Snake River.  They were here visiting last week and had a great time.  The river is running fast and they had a great time.  I thought the folks who are coming out to visit later in the summer might want to check out the white water trip.
