Preliminary Itinerary

Here's the plan for today.
June 11th work our last day for a year. For the next two weeks pack up our house and do a few trial runs in the camper between weddings. Congratulations to Lauren and Dusty, and Mead and Leanne- and no we don't really hold any ill will against you for planning weddings which delay our departure date.

We will be departing Colorado on June 28th

First Leg, July: Off to Yosemite, we have about a week to get there because we have reservations. So far we have only made two reservations for the entire year.

From there we're headed to San Francisco, California- to visit friends and return Beth's dog to her. (Beth is Rachel's best friend, who loves and adores the dog they once shared like her own, that is before Dan came along and stole her away. Beth is taking custody of the dog for the year)

Here's where it starts getting vague...

Second Leg, Late July to Mid-September:
Northern Cali, Oregon, Washington and B.C., while in B.C. we will be doing a bit of scouting for our winter plans.
Then it's on to Jackson, WY and Yellowstone National Park, where we have made our second reservation, for about a week.

Third Leg, August 20th- September 8th-ish: 18-21 days rafting the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon, that's right turn green with envy, we are part of a private river trip through the ditch! Thanks Bjorn for actually applying for a permit, we would have done it if we'd had the $100 permit fee ten years ago, we swear!

Fourth Leg, Late September- Christmas:
Mexico. We will be starting out in Baja for a few months of surfing. Then ferrying across to the mainland, where we hope to meet up with Rachel's folks for Thanksgiving, North of Puerto Vallarta. From there we'll be heading north arriving in Austin, TX in time to spend X-mas with Dan's family.
