First Post

As we were preparing for our vacation later this summer, we decided it might be fun to create a blog about our adventures primarily for us to revisit later, a scrapbook if you will.  However, it would also serve as a way to share our adventures with the rest of the family.

Our "adventures" are fewer and more far between than sometimes in the past, but nonetheless still fun and exciting for us.  If you intend to follow this blog, don't expect it to be very regular. The entries will be sporadic at best and primarily clustered around our vacation or rv trips. 

So here it is....the first post for our new blog.  That is the big event for today, the creation of this new blog.

We also made reservations for our trip to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park next month.  We have been spending a lot of time over the last several weeks looking at maps and deciding what might be possible in the time we can steal from work.  We don't leave until the end of July, but we wanted to get reservations in place since those two national parks are notoriously crowded.  The remainder of the trip is firmly set in jello, but we hope to see the Beartooth Highway, Devil's Tower National Monument, Mount Rushmore, and more.  We have much more research to do on potential places to visit and things to see.  We also have hopes of grabbing caches in each of the various states we will be visiting since we do not have finds in most of those states. We will need to identify potential caches and get the coordinates loaded ino the gps.  Finally, I won't let the Frog get too close to any of the wildlife we hope to see (think moose, bison, and bear), but he will definitely want to take pictures.  Therefore he is contemplating some new zoom lenses for the camera. 

As you can tell, there is much to do in the next few weeks to get ready for the trip.  I will try to update the blog occasionally as decisions are made.
