The valley

I never grow tired of this view from the top of the King. 

A new start

Chels and Dash went to get his rental gear for the winter yesterday.  Rumor had it, as confirmed by the pic, he was fired up on the new gear and ready to rip this winter. 

Hot damn

My biking bud Adam just got a new sled and sled deck.  Such a bitching set up! 

Rare

What?  A shot of the fam together? 

Fresh blanket

 Nice dusting of cold white smoke last weekend.  

Weekend donut run down to the market via sled. 

Cold n Clear

 Felt pretty lucky to have Vet's day off and getting to spend it riding sleds early in the morning.  530 am departure and we were unloading at first light!  

 My truck isnt big, it isnt powerful, but damn it, she can haul two sleds like a champ!  

 Early morning two stroke.  

 Early bird found the worm.  

It doesn't take much

Band Aid's and a new toothbrush...., life is good I tell ya. 

Yes sir indeed.

 Really fun sledding day in the sun and cold with the fam last weekend.  

 Not much better than fresh snow, sun, and empty power fields.  

Yahoo

 First sledding mission of the winter went down this last weekend.  Man...., did it feel good to see some fresh snow, ride a sled, and see a buds stoke on his first day on a new sled!  

My bike racing bud Adam decided to get a sled and start up a new pursuit.  I would say...., he is hooked.  

 I was on my new (used sled) too.  It is same as my old sled, just two years newer and a lot less use and abuse.  I think this turn speaks for itself.  

Hell yea Adam.  PUmped to see you stoked on a new sport and for me to be able to return the bike racing support favor. 

Just around the corner...

 Winter is coming....., and I think that we are ready?  

Field tripping

 Chels tagged along as a volunteer last week on a field trip with Dash and his class to the grocery store.  

 Lil mountain town kiddos.  

Lunch walks on the King

PRetty damn nice to be able to walk out from your office at lunch and get some fresh air in the hills. 

First of the season

 Had a nice lunch break on my way over Togwotee for a work trip this past week.  Caught it just after it dumped.  

 Nice to be making skin tracks once again.  

First week of November goodness. 

Lunch hours

 Been mixing up my lunch hours of late as it has been too cold to ride bikes and not enough snow to ski.  So....., hikes to the top of Snow King have been the order of the day.  

TCLIB

Dash takes after his mom in so many ways......, he is a huge, huge fan of the Teton County Library. 

Wrinkled hands!

Dash and Xavier, swimming buds. 

Next year?

Well, hoping that next year and Halloween goes better.  Dash was up at 5 am this year, didnt take a nap, and well, wouldnt put on his costume! 

Seriously?

 Ummmmm, wow....., who knew that Rock Springs had such quality moto riding?  My moto buds have been telling me for a couple of years now how kick ass the dirtbiking is down there.  So, I decided to take them up on their recommendations and power on down there with them last weekend.  It did not let me down!  

PIcture above is from the second day.  Despite the conditions, we rode for a few hours before the weather got the best of us.  

 All the rest of the photos were from the day before when it was almost 50 degrees, sunny, and, well, not snowing!  85 mile loop of amazing singletrack.  

 Desert riding 3 hours away instead of 8 like it takes to get to southern Utah.  

 Riding steep hills with the Green River in the background.  

 Our crew ran into another moto crew from Laramie area.  

 Very nice place to eat a sandwich.  

 Wow......

 Damn nice vistas.  

 THe moto load and unload.  

Later slater

 Loaded up and headed out from our last kayak mission of the season.
