Arrived in Jackson Hole

Why would anyone want to leave the sun and warmth of Florida and spend spring and summer in the mountains of Wyoming? A place where the April highs only get into the mid 50’s and the lows well below freezing. Where your home site is only about 20’ X 50’. Why would anyone move to a place where you have to work a forty hour a week job outside in these frigid conditions?

Our site,small but nice

Oh ya, maybe because this is your playground and these are a couple of the local residence. It may not be for everyone but for many it is a paradise.

The Teton Range



Our first moose

A local lake, BURR!!!!

We are here at our summer home. We have talked about this for months and now we are here. The park over all is nice. The owners are making some major upgrades so right now things are kind of torn up. Tomorrow we will start work to help make thing beautiful for the summer guest’s. We have met most of our co- workers and our supervisors and everyone seems very nice.

A lot of work to do

This area is unbelievable, the landscape is stunning. Victoria and I drove into the town of Jackson yesterday. It is a mountain town just like you see in the movies and has all the modern conveniences and just 15 minutes from the KOA. We also took a drive to Grand Teton National Park. Most of the roads in the park are still closed to cars, but are opened to bicycles. I may have to  get my bike down and take a ride.

On our first day here we didn’t see very much wild life, all we saw was; a couple of moose, a small herd of elk, a bunch of geese, ducks, a bald eagle and what I think was a herd of pronghorn, but they were up on the mountain, and that was just riding around the area on our first day. I think we will tough it out in this cold climate and our tiny homestead. “Paradise”
