i really enjoyed my horseback ride today here in colter bay of jackson lake. i hadn’t been horseback riding in a while, so the 2 hour trail ride was the leisurely time I was looking for. I enjoyed the scenery, learned some things about moose, and saw some beaver lodges. cool stuff to just wander around on a horse. Rex (my horse) and I were a good match. he didn’t try and control the ride, but he followed along and let me tell him which way to go sometimes.

the reason i am on this trip

Posted on August 16, 2008 by Zachary Cole

so the main reason i have gone on this journey is because in may 1999 i tried to go through yellowstone on my way to seattle. i was on my way to do an internship with microsoft. two of my cousins – keisha and jonetta, pictured below, drove across the country with me. we were stopped because of snow on the road in MAY! the beartooth highway that leads from cody (after chief joseph’s highway ends) to cooke city and the entrance to yellowstone was still closed! DENIED!
