We departed West Yellowstone this morning transiting Yellowstone Park and exiting it by the South entrance and heading down through the Tetons to Jackson Hole, Wy. We had planned on being in Jackson Hole 2 days to explore the Tetons, but as we rode through them today we saw what there is to see. So we cancelled our 2nd night’s reservation and we will be heading on down the road to Denver. We made it into Jackson Hole early and went into the old west part of town and had a excellent steak diner (thanks James) all in all the trip [View Full Entry]

Well the day could not have been better it was about in the mid 60's and the sun was shinning! We had an interesting encounter on the way into the park, we came up to a traffic jam and as we were sitting there a herd of about 8 or 9 buffalo came walking down the road right by us. We were blocked in and had nowhere to go as buffalo passed by on both sides of us within arms length. Man they are huge critters! Talk at ya tomorrow, God bless, Jack & James. [View Full Entry]

Today the Lord parted the clouds and let the sun shine forth! A park Ranger told us that it has been snowing here every day for the past month, they even had to close the entire park last Friday. We waited until 10:00 AM for the sun to warm things up and for us to work out some of the muscle cramps from riding in the cold on Thursday, and then we ventured into Yellowstone National Park. In the 100 or so photos we are posting up today your going to see buffalo, more buffalo, and then some more buffalo! We [View Full Entry]

What do you get when you mix a French kid, nba basketball, a English/French dictionary, a bar full of people who care about nba basketball, beer, and America in general? Two words: huh. larious. So you can imagine how that went - oh if you didn’t pick it up already, I watched game 3 of the NBA finals with Jeremy, my French friend, at a sports bar in Seattle. After that, we met up with Cejana (lives in boston but grew up in/lived in Brazil until she was 19) and Sarah (Seattelite). We went to a microbrewery but we were too [View Full Entry]

Well we got our start out of Post Falls, MT about 10:00 AM. We wanted to let it warm up some, but that never happened, it was cold in Post Falls, it was brrrrrrrrr cold in the passes, and it was cold everywhere we went today! We only got rained on a little bit but we had to put up with some vicious cross winds most of the day again. We did the smart thing by coming down west side of the foothills, as you can see by the video we skirted a huge storm front staying a lot drier, yet [View Full Entry]

Ok the day has finally arrived and we have put day 1 of our 27 day vacation behind us. It was quite an eventful day weather wise on our trip. We came up short of our intended goal of making it to Missoula to spend the night due to severe weather that hit just as we were leaving the Spokane area of Washington. Leaving Seattle it was not too bad about 55 degrees with no rain, by the time we got up in the mountains to Snoqualmie Pass it was 35 degrees with an intermittent light mist. As we came out [View Full Entry]

Our first stop in washington was Bainbridge island, which we called our home base for a couple days. We stayed with a friend of blair's parents' from highschool, Don. Being a great host, he had left us some home made spaghetti sauce which we, of course, devoured before heading across the ferry to scope out Leigh's summer accommodations. After getting her settled (for any who were concerned, her apartment is in a great location, roomy bedroom, and friendly roommates!), we met up with Abbey (childhood friend of blair's), who showed us around the Seattle nightlife. We started at a university bar, [View Full Entry]

Friday 6:22am - *Correction - the quote in the subject heading was from our dear friend Libby. I'm sitting at a coffee shop, VOXX Coffee, trying to study but obviously can't because I don't know how to study. Not helping is the one other guy in there (old fat dude) clipping his finger nails and then brushing them off to the floor...really? ok fine. whatever. the show must go on... I strategically sit between the place people place orders and the main sitting area so that I can listen to as many conversations as possible. The only notable thing today that [View Full Entry]
