President Hoover, Mr. Chief Justice, my friends:
This is a day of national consecration. And I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency, I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels.
This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure, as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.
So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to...

Last weekend was a stellar Jackson Hole Weekend. Saturday I made it back into GTNP after a long wait letting my ankle heal. My ankle is feeling better, and this moderate route in the Tetons was perfect. Â
They call it disappointment peak because it looks like it is part of the Grand Teton. When you head for the summit, you realize that there is a massive gap between the mountain you are on and the Grand Teton!Â

I was mesmerized and two months later, after climbing through Mo...

A couple weeks ago I went for a walk in Grand Teton Nationonal Park up to Lupine Meadows. It was the first time back in the mountains since my fall on Mount Moran.  It was a beautiful walk and my ankle felt great. I went with Holly Baade and she had never been into the park - it was sweet to see the never-ending grin on her face. A couple miles in is a natural spring called horsetail falls. Its called that because the hollow horsetail plant is what is used to draw the water from the sprin...
