Boondocking in Teton National Forest

Just across the road from the Teton National Park, up an unmarked gravel road leading into the forest, is one of the best boondocking locations I have ever been too. I’ve camped here before, back in June of 2011, and enjoyed it so much I was happy to repeat the...

Swimming under the Tetons

Friday would be my final weekday near the Grand Teton National Park so I decided to spend the afternoon at Jenny Lake… at least to beat the heat that has visited me each afternoon in the forest. It was ironic that the moment I came to a stop in the...

A grand bike ride

Wednesday morning, after waking early, completing my morning work load and grabbing a quick breakfast, I jumped on my bike to go for a ride. Instead of the normal dirt road or trail, I opted for asphalt this trip. Hwy 191 runs North and South through the Grand Teton Nation...

Grave of Sacajawea

On the way up to Teton National forest, I stumbled upon the grave of Sacajawea, who has to be the most amazing woman of all history. I’ve always been amazed by her accomplishments; traveling on foot for thousands of miles with an infant child… so to be able to see...

Boondocking at Pole Mountain

I just got back from a fantastic two night boondocking trip up in Wyoming. Not far out of Larimie Wyoming is a section of the Medicine Bow National Forest which was used for military exercises after WW2. From I80 take the Happy Jack Rd exit. It leads you straight into...

Yellowstone and Teton Ntnl Parks, again

As you may recall, I stopped smoking a few years back. Actually, August 31st marks 3 years since my last cigarette. Yep… still not smoking and I doubt I ever will again as my self-worth just wont allow me to consume something that is only harming me. Labor day weekend,...

Yosemite National Park, Mariposa Grove

We rolled out from just before 6am for the three hour driver into the park. When we arrived, all was looking good, though we were denied any camping spots (full + waiting list) that we were hoping to get for a single night. No big deal though… we figured it...

Fossil Butte Ntnl Monument

After an entire day of driving through two National Parks and hundreds of miles of lonely (but scenic) country roads, we ended up a few miles outside of Fossil Butte Ntnl Monument at the South-Western corner of Wyoming. This got us out of the foul weather, but no where near...

Into a snowy Yellowstone Ntnl Park

As we drove up and into the Flag Ranch area to find our Forest land camping area, we were greeted only with a road-closure sign which prevented us from going any further. This really threw a wrench in our plans and moved our entire trip forward a few days. We...

Grand Teton Ntnl Park, Swan Lake hike

After spending the week in the forest, we did skip into Teton Ntnl Park for a single night at a “civilized” camp ground to shower, wash clothes, and re-stock on some supplies. The following day, we left our camp sight to venture out on a short hike that the three...
