Morning Coffee – A COLD Fall Morning…
We woke up again this morning to another beautiful fall day here in the Yellowstone basin! But this morning unlike many of the ones over the past few weeks was really cold. As we pulled from our driveway this morning on our way to drop Brynn off at school the temp gauge was reading 28 degrees. By…

Morning Coffee in Teton National Park…
I have to apologize as I have been kind of missing over that past winter. So many things have happened but life is getting back to normal. Spring is here in the Tetons and it is in full swing. After a long winter and a pretty wet Spring the sun if finally out. On this…

Wow Christmas has come and gone again! Hard to believe how fast the time seems to pass these days. As many of you know winter came late to the Yellowstone basin this year and for a while we were actually starting to wonder if we would ever see the snow fall. Needless to say it…

Morning Coffee – Still Waiting For Snow…
While we still wait for the Jet Stream to drop in on North West Wyoming Peyton and I did something a little different earlier this week. We went off the main roads onto a snow-covered dirt road that follows some power lines. We ran smack dab into three moose that were jousting with each other. We had…

Morning Coffee – Moose Again…
This morning like most before I headed towards Antelope Flats as the amount of wildlife found there has been amazing. One big difference was that when I went to the gym this morning early, the temperature on my Jeep said it was 34 degrees. A far cry from -15 of the past two weeks. But…

This mornings coffee run took me 40 miles north of Jackson into Teton National Park to one of the most photographed places in the United States, Oxbow Bend. Oxbow is just north of Moran Junction about 4 or 5 miles and on this morning it was -15 degrees as I arrived just before dawn. In…

Morning Coffee At -15 At The Flats
As I peaked out my bedroom window last night I could see stars. Mother Earth had just sent Jackson a small storm during the day and she left the valley with a new coating of snow. Although it was just a few inches it was a welcomed event as we have been lacking in the…
