Happy end of May!

Today is the 31st. That is not insignificant, because today is the last day of May. May is nice, I suppose, if you are into the whole finals, school, stress, deadline thing.

I personally, much prefer June. So tonight when you are celebrating the end of may, kick one back and think of me.

OK. I am in the most beautiful place in the world. I kid you not. I am in Jackson, Wyoming. Here is a view from my "Cabin" where I am blogging right now at 646am.



Not bad huh? It's a cabin in the sense that it is made of logs and is in the wild west Teton Village. However, it is the only cabin i've ever been to with cable, AC, Heat, and wireless internet. Here is another picture of our living room/kitchen.


As you can see it is quite nice here. Yesterday, we toured Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.

Wow. What an experience. It was the absolutely most beautiful vistas that i've ever seen. It absolutely blew me away.

Grand Teton might have been more beautiful than Yellowstone, but less interesting. The 360 degree panoramic views of nothing but valley and then mountains on either side blows me away. Hundreds of heads of Bison wandering. Awe-inspiring sage brush as far as the eye can see. The mountains are so close to you that you get a truly impressive view of them. The Grand Tetons (comes from the french derogatory word for breasts, so i'm told. Here is a hint: rhymes with zits). For those who have visited the Colorado Rockies -- you got nothing. There are no real foothills leading up to the mountain, so the view is so much more dramatic. Here are some pictures of Grand Teton national park.




































That was Grand Teton. Amazing views, but not that intense. Tomorrow I will take you to Yellowstone.

Bits and pieces:

*We saw Air Force Two (the Veeps plane) at the airport in Jackson. Apparently, he has a home here on the 18th Green of the golf course we are golfing today. Our waitress said, that gas prices were cheaper in Jackson because of his connections. I call bull.

*I feel like i should be riding a horse and carrying a six-gun in this valley. This valley brings the gunslinger-mountainman out of me.

*Man those bison are huge.

*I ate at the mangy moose last night, i had ribs. Unfortunately, they were regular plain beef ribs, not moose.

*Hey world, GO TO YELLOWSTONE AND GRAND TETON, you will appreciate the national parks in a whole new light after being there

*My guide was a badass. His name was Cowboy Bob. Ex-navy, ex-police, current tour guide does summer tours with his GMC Yukon and winter tours via snow car. He has a nice life to have an office in a national park.

*In another life, i should be a park ranger

*Golf today: maybe we can hit another eagle.

Later alligators!
