Heading out

I'm still not done packing for my US trip, but by request, I am making a quick update to say that I am outta here for a bit. Here being Seattle. I'm off to California this afternoon, to meet Christinahead, for our quick tour of northern CA (yosemite, redwoods, tahoe, etc) and to spend some more time with my cousin Jim. Then I am off to TX for Susie's wedding in Dallas and a quick visit to my aunt in Houston. Then to NY to see family and pick blueberries in CT. Next on the itinerary is CO, to see my cousin Larry, and then do a WildernessVolunteers trip through Eagles Nest Wilderness. Christina and I are still working out the rest of the details - but currently plan on renting a car, driving through CO, UT and to Las Vegas. There's a possible extension plan to continue to the Grand Canyon and end up in LA with Farkas, but all is still unknown. After that, I am heading to MN to see my friend Kristine who is getting married. And finally, after all that, returning to Seattle.

We are currently seeking suggestions on hikes to do in Yosemite (Half Dome has already been suggested a half dozen times), other places to visit in CA (Mono Lake is on the list), and cool things to do in CO and UT (Escalante, Bryce, Zion, Arches are on the list). So comment away or email me!
