Welcome back

Welcome back to the 2011/2012 edition of Mexican Madness.

We're off to a bit of a disorganized start this year.  Dan is finished work with the City of Calgary Parks Department for the season, but I'll still be at Alta until the 25th of November. The plan is for Dan & Taz to drive down, and I'll fly down to join them on the 28th.

Dan had wanted to be on his way by now, but due to a series of last minute "stuff" happening, he's been delayed.  The weather gods are planning on sending a blast of winter this way by the end of the week though, and he'd really like to be out of Utah and off the high plains before the storm gets there, so he's aiming for a Wednesday morning departure.

There has been some discussion as to which vehicle to take, and even now, it's not completely decided.  We don't have as much stuff to take with us this year, so maybe it would be better to take the more fuel-efficient Golf.   But on the other hand, if he wants to pull off at a rest stop and crash for a couple of hours, then the van is the better option.  I'm betting that the van will win in the end, and that's okay with me.  If I have to live through a couple of weeks of winter by myself, I'd rather do it with the vehicle that has the heated seats!  ☺
