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!

Heather and Natalie Come To Town

Me, Heather and Natalie at Inspiration Point over looking Jenny Lake

I met Heather while working at La Jolla Country Day.  She now lives in Salt Lake City and is currently a principal at a K-8 school.  Natalie and Heather have been friends since 1st grade and it has been good fun getting to know her.  They arrived late on Friday night and we have spent hours just talking and catching up on things.  We enjoyed strolling around the Farmer's Market at the Town Square on Saturday morning and a late breakfast at Lotus Cafe.

On Sunday we decided to hike around Jenny Lake and climb to the top of Inspiration Point.  It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed the hike, scenery and views.

We choose to take the boat across the lake and begin our hike with a mile climb up to Inspiration Point.  The view from "the point" was beautiful.

From "the point" we headed back down for a mile and then continued on for another 5 miles around the perimeter of the lake.
