We have several trips planned for this year.
The first starts next Wednesday. It will be a long weekend to Lake Havasu for a bluegrass festival. We'll stop in St. George on the way down and back. It will also serve as a "checkout" trip to find anything that went awry with the TM over the winter.
In June we'll make our annual trek across Nevada to the Father's Day weekend bluegrass festival in Grass Valley, California. This year we're planning to stay a few days at Granite Flat campground just north of Lake Tahoe on the Truckee river on the way.
In early September, the biggie will be a trip from here (just south of Salt Lake City) to Yellowstone for a few days, then on to Hamilton, Montana (just south of Missoula) to do a little fishing on the Bitterroot with friends who live there. Then across Montana to the Black Hills. DW has always wanted to see Mt. Rushmore. I'm a Western history nut, so there is lots there for me. We were thinking of staying at Rafter J Bar Ranch. Any opinions about that place? Finally, we'll head back home through Wyoming catching as much of the pioneer trail as possible - along the Sweetwater, through South Pass, and then down to Fort Bridger and back home. Probably a 3 week trip. Maybe a little longer.
Another possibility is to move this trip up a bit into August and catch another bluegrass festival in California the weekend prior to the Petaluma TM gathering which we could then catch and meet some of y'all.
Suggestions, experiences, and warnings are quite welcome!
