Sounds like a plan..Jackson Hole is my favorite place on earth. You gotta check out Crater Lake while you're in Oregon, if you're close enough.

Applied to work in Crater Lake and Yellowstone in '03. Never heard from CL, but, spent a spring and summer in Vail and Lake, YNP. was a blast. JH is cool, fishing the Snake and Flat Creek. Mosquito Creek in Wilson. But, my fav was West Yellowstone, Firehole, Madison, Gallatin. July 4th 2003 in Bozeman was unforgettable. Started at OLD Rocking R and then did fireworks.

A river runs through it..sounds like you have lived a heck of a life, I'm jealous. I wasted my best years on booze and drugs. I wish I could fly fish, but I'm too impatient..lol.

My wife wants to go in winter sometime, but I just don't think I could take the cold to snowmobile through Yellowstone and my skiing days are over. It is cold enough in early June for me. Plus I just mainly love to do the small 2-4 mile hikes. Where did you stay? West Yellowstone or Old Faithful snow lodge? We were going to stay at Grand Targhee our last trip we had planned in 13, but we had some family problems come up and had to cancel. Next year will be the first time we have been since 11, but it is cool since two of my kids are married now, we get to introduce their spouses to the beauties of NW Wyoming. I cannot wait.

grew up on a lake. dad brother all skid. i was into Hooters racing and bass fishing. dunno, guess i take after my Grandad. 😜. i learned to fly fish young enough, and, after almost getting intoa fight in Yellowstone after some Yank who just got his first license fished on top of me. I swore, gonna quit fishing for trout. Beside, after you've caught a native Yellowstone Cut on a PMD, You'll never want to fiddle with the pellet eaters again!

lived and worked at Lake Lodge. They asked me to stay on past summer in a managerial role, which out there is 40-50 hrs with no sunshine. I woulda stayed in OF in that role. Honestly, id had enough of it, my car broke down and had to get a buddy to come pick me up.

always heard the snowmobiling in is a life event. Funny you mention GT. One of my fav hikes was in to Devil's Staircase. Had tickets tk the bluegrass fesitval to see Hot Rize, when my clunker broke down. I just firesold my tickets to a hippy dude.

Hey ya'll, the wife and I are planning to head to Utah/Wyoming area in May and we could use any suggestions, never been out there.

You guys seem knowledgable so I think I'll start a thread in The Pub and would appreciate if you could stop by with some words of wisdom. Thanks

If we end up winning the national title, it'll be because this kid turns out to be a beast.

Barnett, Kongbo, Phillips, Taylor. 4 NFL defensive ends leading the way.

Expectation: In the defensive line rotation, eventually starting

Reasoning: Kongbo is as physically gifted as anyone in the class of 2016. The 6-foot-6, 260-pound defensive lineman looks like he's ready to play right now. But, he'll have to polish his game quickly as he won't arrive in Knoxville until the summer. There are plenty of options along the defensive line so Kongbo will have to work his way into a position once he arrives on campus. Derek Barnett has one defensive end locked down and Corey Vereen and Latroy Lewis are veterans and Kyle Phillips will be looking to make a move. So, it's not a clear path to Kongbo starting right away (remember, he's still only played about a season-and-a-half of real games) so it may be too much to expect an immediate impact. But, over time, Kongbo has the chance to develop into something special and it wouldn't be surprising to see that in flashes starting in August.

How long has it been since we fielded a defense that was truly great at all three levels? And this secondary and DL have true potential to be the best I have ever seen here. We have had great LB corps before, but Kirkland and JRM make this one at least equal to some of the best. I'm serious, I love defense and I cannot wait to see the destruction these guys are going to wreak on CFB the next few years.
