Adventure! After putting Zachary and Jonah to bed I decided to take Taryn and Jude out to see the Neowise comet. Our campground sits down in a valley so we tried to drive up the road about 5 minutes. We still couldn’t see it so we drove a bit further and a bit bit further still. Soon it was pitch black with nowhere to turn a big dually around. My ptsd makes it hard for me to drive in the dark and it’s something I almost never do. I was in way over my head and near tears when we finally found a rest area to turn around. As we pulled in […]

Our lunch stop between Idaho and Montana today included this stunning view, 2 hawks and a golden eagle. The kids were so excited!

Baby & Momma Moose on Moose Wilson Road

Dusk in the Tetons is my fave. We decided to head back to Idaho via Moose Wilson Road because I read you’re very likely to see a moose! We’ve waited almost 3 years and we have all been anxious to see one. Swipe to see the momma and baby just a few minutes in to our drive. Can you spot the baby behind momma? Thank goodness for shooting in raw as it was almost completely dark at this point. We also saw one super close up, eating leaves in the water at the edge of the road as we drove by! Totally worth the […]

Bears in Grand Teton National Park

You guys! Tonight was amazing!! We drove 2 hours from Idaho to Colter Bay inside Grand Teton National Park in hopes of seeing Bear #399 and her 4 cubs. I got some location ideas from other photographers in the area. Not having much luck, we had dinner, played by the water, then as we were leaving a little girl waved us down to tell us bears were close by! Sure enough, momma and 3 cubs!! We were all SO excited! It was so amazing to view them from a safe distance. I am not 100% sure this is #399 as she only had 3 cubs with her. […]

Started our evening of adventure by driving over to Jackson Hole for some picnic provisions. We stopped at the town square for a photo at the antler arches – I really regretted not stopping the last time we came through.

Boondocking in the wild

We arrived at our first “wild” (aka not Walmart or Harvest Host, etc) boondocking spot tonight. The dogs immediately loved it and ran right toward the water. I could hear them thinking “freeeeeeeedom”!!! Ha! They proceeded to scratch their backs rolling around in the grass for a good 5 minutes each. It’s a good day to be a fulltime traveling doggo!
