One year we went to Victoria for the 4th of July weekend. IT WAS AWESOME! Small crowds. Those commies don't celebrate the 4th in Canada, lol.

I've done the 4th in Vancouver, Canada. Still trying to book a trip to Vancouver for July but trying to get the prices down. Still over $500 each from LA to YVR

We are supposed to be going to Yellowstone in a little over a week. Guess that is out now. Lots of flooding and roads and bridges being washed out. We were going to go to Glacier, then Rushmore then Yellowstone, but might need to find a new third destination. Looks like large sections of the road between Gardiner and Mammoth are gone. Rumor has it a bridge between 90 and Gardiner is gone and possibly part of the road in the Lamar valley is gone. The North end of the park is probably done for the season.

Hey man--you and me both (except without the Rushmore part). Leaving tomorrow--still gonna give it a shot.

We have cancelled the Yellowstone portion of our trip. For us yellowstone is about seeing the animals. We have been the last two years. We saw over 20 wolves and close to 10 bears in the Lamar valley last year and my daughter wanted to see them again, especially the wolf pups. We are just cutting our trip short and going to do a second trip around Oregon later. Going to go see the wildlife safari, the Oregon Vortex and Crater lake. I hope you have an amazing trip. We were bummed to see that the Road to the sun in Glacier is still closed, but going to make the best of that park as we can. We haven not been there before.

Yeah, would be nice to hit Logan pass, but at the very least, the East side of the park appears to have some options (the lodge in East Glacier is impressive), and the West part is open up to Avalanche Creek--and there are some great hikes that trailhead from there. I'm sure that you will find plenty there that you will enjoy. We'll be in Glacier from Sunday through Tuesday; I'll keep my eye out for other Oregon plates.

Any guesses how you contracted?

I know in Europe they make you mask up on the planes, which I'm actually thankful for.

No idea, my buddy who I visited doesn't have it yet. I either got it in my travel on the way home or on our last day or two hanging out in Mainz. They are basically done with masks and barely inforced it.i think Covid is just surging and kind of everywhere right now. So far my booster felt worse than the Covid, but it's still early.
 
Not really a vacation, just a Father's Day weekend trip over the pass to central Oregon. Going to get some golf in with my pops and show my girlfriend our property over there for the first time. Excited to get away and enjoy some high desert air!

Anybody want me to reach out to Mr. Maris? Nah, I'll just keep an eye out for "Trump 2024" flags.

We will be there on Sunday and Monday. Going to go up the east side around many glaciers I think.
 
July trip, thinking road trip.

Thursday night: LA to San Luis Obipso. Stay at the Madonna Inn.

Friday: drive PCH from SLO to Monterrey. Maybe drive to hotel in San Jose or stay in Monterrey over night.(shitty motels out there are like $300)

Saturday: Santa Cruz. Hang out in San Jose if friends are around.

Sunday: drive back to LA on the 5. Stop in Coalinga to go to Harris Ranch for some steak.

Other options:

1. Drive to Vegas. Stay at Encore. May get bored of it. Going LDW anyways. Pool and steaks is always a good idea.

2. Fly to Phoenix, stay in Scottsdale and explore.

I'm iffy about flying due to price and the number of cancellations lately. Vancouver was my goal, but it just got too expensive.
 
We are getting ready to hit the road again. We will be doing 9 days in Solana Beach. My nephew's have a big soccer tournament in the area so we will be down to watch them. My wifes family is in Temecula so it's sort of a double family visit trip. Should be nice I guess but after the last month of dog issues, Covid and traveling, I would rather stay home for a bit. This Covid has been no joke, kicked both of our asses big time even with boosters. Don't fuck with the Covid guys, I was getting a little to casual with things and regret it.
 
Moved on from Glacier today headed to Rushmore tomorrow. 6:30 after all shops are closed bam flat tire. Ended up buying one of those plugs to fix a hole in the tire by yourself. I hope it holds.
