Our issues aren't so much with the Rallies, Bill. We've been "stuck" at home due to the financial downturn nicking us a bit in the shorts, and a few medical issues here and there. Plus our descendants decided to all come home, and have parked various sundry large devices, such as stripped cars and trailers to live in, in front of Monty Rae. The daunting prospect of moving such paraphenalia to get said Beaver off her pad has proved discouraging, so we sit and dreamily wear the edges of our BeaverTales.
But alas, if the Buscuit Burner's medical gods approve, we shall endeavour to part Monty from her tether and venture forth late next month to BCS for some maintenance and minor repairs, perhaps to see relatives in Elko, NV, and then east to our Grandson's wedding at Estes Park in the Rockies west of Ft. Collins May 12. I have a flyfishing date with guide Bob Jacklin after that in SW Montana or Idaho, and our Passports are on order so we can scoot over the line to see my Calgary/Edmonton cousins in real beaver country. Alaska was the followup idea, but family ties to Nebraska may be a more affordable adventure at this summer's diesel prices.
Though we're not on Bill's list, perhaps we'll meet up with some of you at an impromptu Circle the Beavers enroute.
