Driving Across the Country

My sister, Julie, gave me the idea to write this blog while my parents came up with the name. So, pretty much, the only person in my immediate family who didn't help is my brother, who decided to go to Mexico on a honeymoon.

In about 9 hours, I'll be on my way towards Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I will be working at the Grand Teton National Park transporting people to and from their float trips. I'll also be doing other things such as loading and unloading the floats to and from the the water and trailer. If you want a visual on what I'll be doing (or want to plan a visit), just go here. It is a cross between a customer service job and a tour guide. I need to be there on Wednesday, and start work on Thursday, so I am giving myself plenty of time to get there. It will take me approximately 24 hours to drive, which I am breaking up into three days. The park will be providing me with free lodging, and also feeding me three times a day, so I will have almost no expenses as I don't expect to be using any of my own gas. I plan on working until mid-September, which I am a little heart-broken about, because I will miss the first Ohio State game. I plan on taking lots of pictures while I'm there and sharing them. I'm sorry this is so short and hope I can make the rest of the entries longer, but I feel like I have shared as much information as I can before I actually leave. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment and also keep me in your prayers!

And since I would already be out in Wyoming if it wasn't for my brother's wedding, I expect Patrick and Rachel to take a second honeymoon to come see me this summer.

Take Care,
