A birthday, a (fast) car, and a road trip


A bit out of chronological order, but in 2019 Jolie got me the best birthday present (OK, my own snowcat and skihill would be better, but sticking to reality here): 500 horsepower of Stuttgart fun - a Porsche Cayenne Turbo ... for 3 days!! We took off from Jackson, WY and drove 250 miles through Teton and Yellowstone National Park to spend a few nights at a nice rental house in Red Lodge, MT. On the way we did (ooops did not) break any speed limits. But I can tell you this thing has some giddy-up in its giddy-up.

Here we are at the top of the Beartooth Pass on the way to Red Lodge on a cloudy and foggy day. The return trip was sunny and since we left at sunrise we had the beartooth highway to ourselves - scared myself a few times entering corners!!

Here we are at the start of our hike up to Mary Lake, beautiful lake in Beartooth-Absaroka Wilderness. Saw a Moose next to trail on the way down - fortunately a horse party came by and scared off the Moose otherwise we may have been stuck behind the moose for a while.

Just an amazing large (8-10" across) colorful mushroom on the trail.
On the way home we had good light so I had Jolie practice for her next career as either a Jagermeister Girl or a Porsche Girl

Yes, I packed a T-REX suit for this photo shoot in front of the tetons on the way back to Jackson.
