Camping in the Teton Forest
http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4VUghLas8uU/TeU4QB5IbGI/AAAAAAAAM5E/rE-8G2zkvsA/s160-c/Teton%252520Ntnl%252520Forest.jpg
Just outside the National Park is the National Forest. While it may sound the same, on paper the different between a”Park” and a “Forest” is everything. Within the National Parks, the public is very limited in what we can do. …
Waking to the Tetons
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_6676-1024x682.jpg
After the 12 hours of driving, arriving in the park well after sunset, we found a place to park for the night. Timmy and I watched a bit of recorded TV before calling it a night, but by 11pm the …
Leaving Colorado & arriving in Teton
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_6660-150x150.jpg
Monday morning at 10:30AM we left Conor’s place to drive North-West-ward to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. The first half of the day was spent behind the wheel fighting an overwhelming head-wind that killed any hopes of good fuel …

Timmy goes paintballing
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TcdC5xkS2JI/AAAAAAAAM0Y/on87ulP4xKY/s160-c/IMG_6598.JPG

Nighthawk trail
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_EmimZioRwpw/TcBDaJtuZYI/AAAAAAAAMxY/uuywdpM-fZk/s160-c/IMG_6541.JPG
I’ve hiked Button Rock (to Longmont Dam) trail a few times. I’ve hiked the Hall Ranch trails a few times as well, heck I even biked it once (whew!). There is a trail that connects them both that I have …
Route planned for summer road trip
http://tim.tmcarthur.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2011_summer-300x178.png
Yep, the route is planned; A total of about 1700 miles through a few Wyoming State Parks, Yellowstone and Grand Teton Ntnl Parks, Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho, and Yosemite Ntnl Park before taking a few weeks …
