Keelan Does Jackson

Got a great visit from our buddy Keelan McNulty this last weekend straight from climbing Denali in Alaska en route to Mexico. Who wouldn't want a quick stop-over with us in Jackson? He is a great friend that Chelsea grew up with in Tahoe and he also went to Montana State and hung with both of us there. I don't know if there is anyone out there more stoked on life, but I have to say he is constant entertainment with a continuous flow of energy like I have never seen!

We had a bitchin' time with him, packing in a ton of Jackson-esque activities as only the gracious hosts we are would do for any amazing friend. Trevor took him powder skiing up on Teton Pass, followed by the Jackson Hole Wine Festival he attended with some of our buddies. He seemed to enjoy it mightily by the slowness in his step the next morning and the rosiness of his cheeks from the pictures of the night before. A brisk afternoon float on the Snake River was added to the itinerary despite a little drizzle and grey skies and it turned out to be amazing. We had some wine, brought Katie and her dog, Gus, fished with no luck and saw a ton of wildlife; elk, deer, coyotes, eagles, beavers and a hairy Jack Russel terrier, with the river all to ourselves.

Keelan is heading to Iraq in July to fly Black Hawk helicopters with the Army. We wish him all the best and our thoughts will be with him. He is definitely an amazing person with one hell of a large heart. Carpe Diem Keelan.

love the brew pub pic! The beef hat forwards indicates at least five lagers in the belly. Had a great night!
