How to find a leak!

In two weeks time I am leaving on almost 3 week voyage to Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana spanning two river trips. So, last night it was finally time to find the "pinner" hole in my raft and do something about it. As you can see, I found the holes (bubbles caused by airflow). Now I just need to patch them.

Sunburn anyone?

Nothing like scoring some June turns in shorts! Cooling Tecate's on top of Glory Bowl, Teton Pass, last weekend.

Ted and I couldn't stop bullshitting how much nicer it is to be skiing in shorts and no shirt, 70 degrees, and not a hint of wind. As you can see, we still have a TON of snow! 350% of average at last count.

Hell yea.

This epitomizes Teddy! Stoked, smiling, living the "This Day Rules" mantra....clearly!

All the runs up on Glory are still filled in from the top right to the highway.

Skiing, check....golf, en route.

The Sun is Rad

We got really spoiled this weekend with sunny days in the 70's. June can be pretty crappy here in Jackson, so, anytime the sun shines and it's warm in June, you have to take advantage.

Chels dangling her toes off the edge of her kayak on Jenny Lake on Saturday. The ice just came off our lakes last week, so, despite the warm weather, we didn't swim.

Later that night........., we went to Chels' co-workers wedding which was out in Wilson at an amazing ranch out there.

Starting the weekend right

Through a friend of a friend.......I was lucky enough to get to play golf out at JH Golf and Tennis on Friday afternoon. Normally I play all of my golf an hour drive away over in Idaho where I have a golf pass, as all the courses in Jackson are too expensive to play regularly. Luckily, I got on at JHGT via an employee. Can't beat that view!

We like Utah

It seems like every time we head south to go hang out in Utah, it is always a ton of fun.....

Shannon and Chels jumping for joy because they are so stoked to be hiking down in the canyon of the Jones Hole, in Dinosaur National Park. And, the weather finally cooperated enough to wear shorts and t-shirts!

Myself and Matt, getting ready to nail some fish.

Hiking along the banks of the Jones Hole River.

Shannon and Chels hiked down to the confluence of the Jones Hole to it's eventual meeting up with the Green River, 5 miles down the canyon. Matt and I fished and caught a ton of nice rainbows.

Awesome hanging with the Happe's. See you in Montana in a little over a month.

Chels and Shannon came across these amazing petroglyphs on their hike. Easily some of the most intact, clear, and badass ones I have ever seen.

The Jones Hole is the bomb...shhhhhh, don't tell your friends!

It did a rain/snow mix the last night we were down there and made things pretty muddy. We got the grand idea to go for one last moto before heading home. It ended up turning into an epic adventure, lots of mud, a blown clutch, and damaged ego's!

This picture doesn't really do the conditions justice, but the road we cruised out on to try and get on some singletrack was a clay based dirt road that was literally like quicksand. This is a shot of me trying to navigate the mud while Matt and Shannon's bike lay stranded, helpless, and utterly destroyed!

Episodes like this one are why I love living in the West. This shot is such a great snap shot of what is so awesome about living where we do.

We literally got so stuck in the mud that we couldn't ride our bikes out of it. Matt burned up his clutch trying. Just when things were going from bad to really bad, these two guys came barrelling down the road with their old truck, trailering a couple of 4 wheelers. They could see our plight, ended up unhooking their 4 wheelers, putting our bikes on their trailer, and gave us a ride all the way back to our camping spot, many miles down the road. All they wanted in return......"When you come accross us stuck next time, you can help us out."

We loaded up the bikes and took them to the nearest carwash in Vernal and literally threw down over $60 in quarters getting the rigs cleaned up.

Shannon, the moto model.

Memorial Day Madness

Memorial Day weekend in Jackson was not looking good so we hit the road in Rex (coolest vehicle on wheels) and headed to meet Matt and Shannon in Vernal, Utah....

Adios Jackson and snow...

Hello desert! Life wouldn't be half as fun without toys.

Someone had to model our campsite.

Time to moto!
Trev, Shannon and Matt looking badass.

Matt showing everyone how it is done.

Shannon, Trev's bike and the desert landscape.

Time for the party lights!

Summited

Our friend Ben Jones... is a complete BADASS!!! Not only did Ben summit Everest a couple of weeks ago, he safely took clients to the top of the world as well! Congrats Ben, so pumped for ya. See you when you get back to JH!

These are some shots that Ben took while up on Everest. Looks awesome.

Wow.

Hell yea.

Climbers stacked up moving along fixed ropes.

Ben, chilling on top of the world. HELL YEA Ben, you earned it my friend!
