Beav,
My plan is to go up to Coeur d'Alene area for the CdA Rendezvous in June and then for the Moscow RDV on Father's Day a week later. That is assuming the events are going to happen. Frankly, I haven't heard a word about that. But I am sure I will, eventually.
I also want to see Unka Russ while we are in the area. Like you said, it's been way too long.
I also need to slip into Montana and visit my cousin, then make a drive down to twin falls, ID to see some friends. Then head back over to Portland area to see another cousin, then down I-5 and check out some more cousins, and I would like to see Loraine Micke in Springfield. If the timing is right, maybe the Tall Trees RDV in Eureka, CA in July. Lots of possibilities. Hope I don't run out of time, but what the heck, it's not like I have to get back to a job or anything. Happy to say, it has been decades since I worried about silliness like that. Self employment does have its advantages, eh?
I will keep you posted on plans.
