July 11th

The time to hit the road again is getting closer so I thought I would post our "LOOSE" itinerary in case  you are interested...

• Leave Aug 3rd (we think) and head to Happy Rock (Gladstone) to visit our friends John and Jeanne...
• Next stop, Schroeder MN to see Phyl, Don & Gale Ring...
• Then onto Chaska MN to see Cowboy Tom and Kallie...
• Next stop Billings MT to see Ian Tyson then onto Red Lodge to see Dick and Sidne Overturf.  Hopefully we will get to see Rhett and Wally Perez too.
• After Red Lodge we are heading to the foreign land, Canada to see my brother and Vicki.
• After Calgary, Vancouver Island where we will spend a week or so before heading south on Route 1 (or 101 as some refer to it).
• We will travel to San Fransisco where we will meet up with Jeff, Dan and Rachael Morin.  They live in SF so will be able to show us all the best places for sea food and the tourist sites.
• On October 14th we head (no we are not taking the trailer as we will be flying in a plane) to the Netherlands for Yvonne's (Arda's sister) 50th birthday.  Since we are leaving from Phoenix, we will leave our trailer at Bob King's until we return on the 28th.
• Next stop for us will be Texas where we hope to see many friends.
• At some point Arda and I (?) will return to GR for Sydney's 1st birthday on Nov 20th, then back to Texas until the Christmas season... around Dec 15th when we return to GR until early Jan when we head south to AZ again.

Gee, I'm tired just writing this... a lot of travelling but we are looking forward to it.  All times and dates are subject to change with the except of the trip to the Netherlands (I already have the tickets booked).

I'll start blogging on a regular basis once we hit the trail again.  Until then, keep your loops open!
