http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m318/mhilton_2006/If you ever wake some sleepy morning and you are lounging around wishing you could do something a little more adventurous, let me warn you. Hiking the Grand Tetons is one of the most amazing things you will ever do, but also one of the most physically demanding things that you could ever do.
After an insane drive straight to Wyoming (30 hours straight in shifts!) We arrived in Yellowstone about Noon and jumped right into the fresh blue water of Yellowstone lake! About as re-energized as possible after such a trip we took off into the wonder of Yellowstone. We got blocked by a Bison (as you can see) Went to the Grand canyon of Yellowstone, and Watched old Faithful! We spent the night in Jackson Hole where we attempted to party but where thwarted by a jerk Bartender who killed the mood. We ended up catching a drink or two with some fat Guido from Philly in a cowboy bar. Who would have thought?
In the morning we began our march up Grand Tetons. We where able to work out the booze rather quickly but we highly under estimated the gain in elevation. After getting blocked by an enormous moose for about 45 minutes(it was gorgeous) we finally got back on the trail and started our way up to Lake Marion. We camped at about 10,000 ft on the edge of a lake and we where so tired by the time we got to this beautiful specimen of nature, we looked, appreciated, then passed out.
The morning we saw the most amazing stuff of the trip on the way back down the hill(which was easier on the body I must say!) After getting rained on an straining our bodies to the max, we caught a good nights sleep at a hotel and then floored it to Seattle.
That being said I'm in Seattle and I want to go have a good time... More soon Kids.. One Love.

So awesome! I love the pictures!
Wicked cool guys, wicked cool stuff...every nerve ending in my 22 year old body yearns to be on this amazing adventure with you guys, my bros, but alas I am pursuing my own path. Which is great. Keep on rollin', and remember - don't bring your guns into town. Do, however, continue sporting the Pens hat Gags, very nice. And all three of youall - as unofficial civilian ambassadors, be sure to spread the one and only Western PA Charm...!
