Blogging and River Rafting…huh?

Well here it is.  Barker-Ewing Scenic Float Trips has made history.  Who would have thought we’d have a blog?  Back in 1963 when the business started, “blog” wasn’t even a word or a concept.  It was all about rotary-dialed telephones, and mailing brochures through the mail…

Now its email and websites, Facebook, and blogging.  For a business whose primary goal is to help visitors take a step away from all of that–leave the cell phones and iPads behind and for just a few hours, sit and listen and float the snake river–creating a blog feels kind of strange.

I’ll admit I was NOT a blogger or a blog reader until recently.  What is the point of a blog, anyway? To connect? share? brag?  We finally gave in and decided to just do it.  And then it dawned on me.  We love where we live, and where we work, in the heart of the mountains in Grand Teton National Park.  They are beautiful, and the animals and the sounds and smells are exhilarating and inspiring.  And isn’t that something worth sharing?

Here we go . . .

      Hi, I’m Laura. I am not sure how the posts stay up top. It must be setting from the theme we are using (pilcrow). I haven’t adjusted any of the settings of the pages or theme, yet. Just exploring that now as we begin to archive posts. Thanks for subscribing. What’s your blog?

    Honestly… I don’t know. I am SUCH a newbie to all of this. Laura has done wonders with setting this up!! I merely have been following her instructions.
