 August 15th through the 19th, work shifts are usually 1-9 or 8-4.  Pics are views on the way to work.  The gift shop I work in is the largest gift shop in the Teton National Park and we do have just about everything.  Camping items, backpacks,



 really expensive camping chairs-I mean ridiculously priced-but somebody bought one the other day, hiking boots, sandals, socks, and all the souvenirs you could ever want.  There is a kids section with stuffed animals, puzzles, and other stuff that kids will want and talk there parents into :0)  There is really nice artwork, framed prints, sculptures, jewelry, and Native American items-pottery, jewelry and stones.  I will maybe get some pictures of the artwork, it is very nice!

Learned how to run the cash register, where everything is downstairs for restocking, learned SOME of the answers to the many questions visitors have and that working in retail is fun.  Of course it has only been five days and I am working in the Tetons, now working at JC Penneys in La Crosse, probably not so fun. 

Changing the subject a bit, this is in the women's bathroom-WTH?! 


I found out that the South Hall I am in is called Geritol Hall, haha, very funny.  I don't care it is quiet and no drama.  But what the heck do we need all them condoms for 😳

I have heard that there has been a black bear sighted in the employee RV campground and at the building I work in, have not seen it yet.  But I did see a fox yesterday roaming around the parking lot in front of the gift shop.  I was close enough to see he had a collar and he was not really scared of people, just looking for some scraps.  Then I thought what if that is someones pet (hence the collar, I know it is highly likely that it is a tracking collar BUT) and they let it out every other day or 3 or 4 for the vacationers.  Just saying.

This is my room, semi tidy,


I use the other bed for a desk :0)

View is nice, waiting for that bear to peek in.

Hi, soooo it is actually day six in the Tetons, I arrived on August 14th, and did not get this blog going until today, so I am going to play a bit of catch up.  I went to work at the gift shop the day after I landed.  I have been pretty busy since, work 8 hour days, 5 days a week with 2 days off.  Here are some pics on my walk to work the first day:  This first week I have been getting my room organized, figuring things out, for instance it takes me 7 minutes to walk to work and from there 3 minutes to the employee dining, AND how can I easily get coffee in the morning?  Do I really want to get out of bed and trek 10 minutes to get coffee?  then 10 minutes back to sit and enjoy it?  Where can I get reception to make phone calls, (not in dorm room and not standing outside dorms.  Not at work, hard to find cellular service!  I did find one spot that works pretty good if I don't move around too much and that is out by the basketball courts, in t...

 This post is about Gabby who went missing and may have been found pending autopsy.  She was found at Spread Creek camping area about an hour from Colter Bay.  When this first came out in the news I wondered if I had waited on her or her boyfriend at the gift shop, or if they had been in there, but I could not remember them as I see A LOT of people and there would have had to of been something that stood out about them.  It ended up that I did not work the day people saw them.  We all really did not talk about it much or at all, until this was put up in the employee area at the gift shop on the morning of 9/19  Until now there had not been one of these flyers sighted anywhere in Colter Bay or Jackson Lake Lodge and I understand why.  When we all saw this that morning  different things started to come out and recollection got better.  I don't think I wrote about this but shortly after I got here, maybe 2 weeks, somebody parked their white van ...
