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!

Enjoying Fall in Jackson Hole

Beautiful fall colors with the Tetons in the background
It was a beautiful fall weekend in Jackson Hole.  I enjoyed a lazy few days off from the ranch and I had no guest in town.  On Saturday, I enjoyed what has become one of my favorite Jackson Hole past times. After sleeping late on Saturday, I headed into town to enjoy the beautiful weather and sunshine.  I passed a few friends along the way on Spring Gulch Road.

I left the house to spend a few hours at the town Farmer's Market which surrounds the town square.  Before heading over to the action, I stopped at my favorite breakfast spot to fill up my tank, read the paper and enjoy the fall sunshine.

This saturday was a special Farmer's Market celebration called "Community Fall Festival."  The festival celebrated the end of the season and a way to give back to the community.  There was a free sit down meal of pasta prepared by the Jackson Hole High School culinary class.  There are over 35 booths that line the Town Sqaurte.  More than 25 businesses near the Town Square also participated in the festival and created a pedestrian mall and street sale.  On one corner of the Town Square there was a stage set up for a local band to play music throughout the festival.  It was a great way to spend a few hours on a beautiful fall day.
