Valentine's Weekend

This felt like a weekend that we wanted to put on repeat! Seems as though Valentines day is more than anything a good reminder to do something fun with the ones you love. We rented a Forest Service cabin up the Greys River Road near the town of Alpine about 45 minutes from Jackson. There are a myriad of old Forest Service cabins across the western states that anyone can rent out. They come highly recommended by us! This particular one was called the "Deer Creek Cabin" and it was a 14 mile snowmobile ride into it.

Once we got to the cabin I of course utilized the sled to gather firewood

Chels is currently working on a new photo project, so, don't mind all the pictures of me, she was going crazy with the shots! (More to come on her ongoing 2009 photo project)

The warm glow from inside. It was toasty once we finally got the propane heater all fired up.

Elegant V-day dinner for two!

Followed up by a few rounds of Champagne and Yahtzee

Woke up to sunshine and fresh snow

Wish this was our second home!

On our way home from the cabin trip, we stopped by the "Cutter Races" which are a yearly fundraiser for the hospital here in town. They are essentially a quarter of a mile long chariot races. There are 5,000 people that show up and revel in pure Wyoming fashion. That is, excessive boozing and also sanctioned betting.

Hauling ass

Just like I said, a chariot with mountain bike tires!

Great afternoon to watch this unique event. Most of the teams were from the Jackson valley, some from the Star Valley, and also some from Idaho and Montana.

Hope you all had a great Valentines/President's day weekend!
