Lucky Enough

We have this sign at the store that reads "If you're lucky enough to be in the mountains, you're lucky enough" and that's really how I feel everyday up here.  Here are some pictures of some of my recent adventures in and around Jackson Hole:

Okay, so this one is actually in Rexburg.  Jayme, Stacy and I went to a bonfire, and when I say bonfire I don't mean a little weanie-roast bonfire.  No no no. If you'd have tried to roast a hot dog on this fire you would have almost certainly lost a limb...or all of them.

I went exploring on a day off and found the coolest old cabins just chillin'  out there, no signs or fences or anything.

But, since I'd just been warned by this sign that "there is no guarantee of your safety in bear country" and I was all alone, I thought it best to not stay long ha ha.

The next fun adventure? River rafting with Teniele!  Don't we look cool in our Star Trek  wet-suits?

We met these lovely ladies, Chris and Angel (or "Chris Angel" as they were known, just as we were "Captain and Tennille") on the bus.  It was the four of us and a whole troop of boy-scouts from AF.  They were hilarious.


And the best part? It was free! Yay for River-guide friends!

Over-night camping trip in Curtis Canyon with my work buddies!

Taylor and I after a chilly night.  (Which we both spent in a truck. We are true outdoorsmen. Ahem. Women.)

The JTC campfire band:  Dawn and Taylor on vocals, me on the uke and  Patrick our harmonica and guitarist.

Finally, this morning a few of us woke up at 5 a.m. to catch the sunrise on Mormon Row.

Sam. Shooting those sunrise pics like a boss.

Me and the barn, embracing our Mormonism.

Oh look, the Tetons.


I live here next to these amazing mountains and that's pretty dang lucky I think.  Signing out!
