The Fabricius Family: Poncho takes on Jackson Hole (May 20-22 2016)

This is Poncho. Poncho has been apart of my life since I was..6? I think? I got him for Christmas when my family was still living in Garland. Him and I have seriously been through everything together. We would go to Idaho together, and camping. He followed me to Mexico and back home and guess what!! He now lives with Devin and I. Devin thought it was kinda weird that his 19 year old bride had a stuffed dog.. (Don't tell Poncho that he's stuffed...like to his face..it's seriously offensive..) but he loves me for me. Thank goodness. Poncho is the puppy I don't get to have. I talk to him. Thankfully, he doesn't talk back!! haha -- cause that would be weird! Our latest adventure together was Jackson WY! Man I love that place. I love seeing moose, elk, deer and hope to see bears. I thought Devin was going to tell me "heck no" to Poncho tagging along.. But surprisingly, he didn't even argue! In fact, he's coming with us to Yellowstone over the 10th of June! :)

I had this brilliant idea of doing "Poncho takes on Jackson Hole" and to document it with pictures. Just to be funny. So I did..& Devin was totally on board!! IT. WAS. AWESOME.

SO! To start out or trip, Poncho decided it would be best to eat at McDonalds. That way we can just get up and go look for some wild life!! He chose nicely. Devin and I split a 20 piece chicken nugget with fries. Off we went to look for some moose!!

First stop was Moose-Wilson Road. Usually that's a jackpot place to find moose! Poncho was enthralled with Moose-Wilson Road. So we had to stop and take a picture of the Moose Habitat Sign. After, we went back to the hotel so Poncho could take a look at the map.

Early--and I mean VERY early the next morning.. We got up and went moose looking!! We drove ALL around the Teton National Forest looking for bear and moose. Sadly, we did not see a single thing. Well, we saw elk & buffalo...and a bunch of geese.. But seriously that's it.

For lunch, Poncho wanted to go to Leeks Pizzaria. It says that it was at Signal Mountain Summit. Well we drive ALL THE WAY OUT THERE..only to find out that it was 10-15 miles north. We stopped at a little place and they told us that it was another 5 miles north. We finally found it!! And let me tell you...it was delicious. We just spent the rest of the day driving around.

AND THEN!! The moment we had been waiting for!! DEVIN SAW A MOOSE!! One little dude just chillin on the side of the road...sat the bottoms of a hill, in the middle of sage brush. THATS NOT EVEN MOOSE COUNTRY! But who am I to complain. I finally saw my moose :)

Sunday morning we did the exact same thing. Got up at the butt-crack of dawn and went animal searching. We stopped at Liberty Burger where I got my favorite salad. Grilled chicken with cranberries, walnuts, almonds, feta cheese, croutons and a delightful poppyseed dressing. Mmmm I am salivating just thinking about it! Devin got his usual burger. The Nooner. Hamburger patty, cheese, hash browns, fried egg, bacon and ham. Heart attack on a bun. But boy is it yummy!

I really enjoy the time that I get with Devin when we go to Jackson. It's an activity that we both thoroughly enjoy doing and I love that I get to spend that time with my two best friends ;) -06/02/16
