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!

Oxbow Bend and Jackson Lake with the Sisters

View of Oxbow Bend and Mount Moran

On Monday, we headed to the north side of the Grand Teton National Park.  We stopped to enjoy the view of Mount Moran at Oxbow Bend.  The colors were perfect and the above picture does not do the real beauty justice.  After enjoying the view, we continued on to Jackson Lake Lodge.

From the back entrance of Jackson Lake Lodge we hiked up to the Rockefeller Tree.  It was from this spot that JD Rockfeller first fell in love with the area.  He later secretively purchased 35,000 acres and gave it to the government to create Grand Teton National Park.  It was a quick hike that we all enjoyed.
