Heading for Mexico
Sept. 20 - early December, 2006
We left Madison and headed west
for a roughly two and a half month trip; our plans are to (1) stop at
Rocky Mountain National Park to the see the elk (the rutting season
should be in full sway), (2) go to Salt Lake City for Nancy to do some
genealogy, (3) head for California for my high school reunion, (4)
visit family in California, (5) link up with the Mannings and some
friends of theirs to do a RV caravan through the Copper Canyon in
Mexico (the Roadtrek goes on a train for the Copper Canyon part of the
caravan) and the sea of Cortez area, (6) head back home in early
December.
We will upload photos and descriptions, comments, etc to this web site
as the trip unfolds. You are invited to come back periodically to see
what we have been up to, if this is of interest to you.
