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!

Rashawn and Sara PARAGLIDE !

This morning at 7:45am both Rashawn and Sara "took the big step" and jumped off the mountain for their paragliding experience!  They both enjoyed the experience a lot and had huge smiles when they landed.  From the ground it was tough for us to see if Rashawn or Sara was the first parachute.  As they got closer to the ground, it became evident that Sara was the first off the mountain because we could hear her screams of laughter and excitement!  Rashawn was his usual cool and casual self as he landed.  He had his iphone out in front of him filming the whole experience and ride/glide down!

All that morning activity and early wake up call made the group very hungry, so we headed to town for a great breakfast at Genevieve's!




With full bellies and a beautiful morning view of the Tetons, the group headed home for a bit of relaxation.

Rashawn did not even make it to the bed
Sara, Lil and Cheryl made it to the deck






This mornings view from the deck for after paragliding relaxation !
