Quebec 2002: The Ice World Cup is holding an event in Quebec City. It's cold. I go into the Petzl trailer to get a little quesadilla. Sitting across from me is Stephen Koch (http://www.stephenkoch.com): Stephen is a strong alpinist, living Jackson Hole. He is out here for the comp. We get talking. As always, I am wondering what the next step in my life is going to be (5years later, I am still wondering what my next step in life is... I'm obvioulsy not great at that standard 5 year projection!!!!). Stephen suggests that I get in touch with Exum Mountain Guides (www.exumguides.com), a guiding outfitter located in Jackson Hole, WY. The thought really appeals to me. I have been seriously considering becoming a mountain guide and this could give me a great feel for doing ... read more

Walking around Jackson Hole: lots of tourists, cowboy hats, antlers, and the feel of the Western town. We just don't have many knife shops in Atlanta. Or nearly so many cowboy boots for sale. It's a small town with charm. In the main square, Dave started to say it reminded him of a more Western version of Sonoma and the same thought hit me at that exact moment, right there at the square. They must be similar. We have enjoyed cruising around, having a meal here or there, wandering into a bookstore or a little gallery, window-shopping all the way. ... read more

Hey we made it to Jackson Hole yesterday but I was to tired to enter a blog. When we got here there was a stressful moment when we found out we did not have a room and we had to call about 10 motels to find one. The first we found was 350 a night then we found a recently canceled room for much less and booked it on the phone with a Credit card.. so with sleeping in the camper top overted we checked in, breathed a sigh of relief, and headed to Bubba's BBQ for some awsome ribs and chicken... Our trip up was beautiful and we saw a bald eagle. He was to far away for a pic. We are excited to go up to Jenny lake today and possibly to Yellowstone. ... read more

Day 8 It was cccccccold last night! Benji checked and said it was a balmy 35 degrees, but no snow. When we woke up, we learned that we have a leak, now in a pipe. Probably because of the travel and age of our camper. Or perhaps the South Dakota off ramp did it. Either way, we’re finally headed into civilization and we’ll have to do some repairs. Your camper busted a pipe. Would you like to try to fix it yourself? Whitewater rafting was awesome! Hit three class 3s. Jackson Hole is very yuppified. There are way too many granola munchers for our liking. And nothing opens until 5:30…at least food wise. We wanted to eat at a few places that were recommended, but it didn’t happen. Ended up at a Bonanza-like place. Stopped ... read more
