we made it ! WHAT A VIEW ! - Grand Teton National Park

After 850 miles and six weeks of laid back traveling. Geni and I have arrived at our summer destination Teton National Park.
We left our awesome camp spot in Rangely Co. on May 9 and broke up our 380 miles to the Tetons by spending two nights in Rock Springs Wy. then traveled straight up 191 to Jackson Wy. and arrived on Saturday May 12th.
We spent the weekend getting adjusted to our new employee camp spot that is very nice! And we started work with our new employer  GTA - GRAND TETON ASSOCIATION on Tuesday May 15th. We will be working in a awesome visitor center right before you reach the main gate. We are very excited about working here and meeting new friends this summer!

RANGELY AUTO MUSEUM - Incredible Car museum in the middle of nowhere

As I stated in our last update yesterday we have been staying in a small town on the Colorado, Utah border. It only has four restraunts and only one bar but it has one hell of a car museum! The owner Bud Striegel was born and raised here and started buying and fixing cars when he was 12 years old he is in his 70's now. The museum is just amazing, I have visited many auto museums in major cities and this one is nicer then most! His collection surpasses most of them, Many one of a kind muti million dollar autos.
