Memorial Day - Going out?
Anybody got interesting travel plans for the holiday? Or has the price of fuel made you stick at home?
We're pulling the TT for a 4 day weekend. It'll be $300 for fuel, but WTH you can never get back the days that have passed. We'll see the Mule Days parade in Bishop and just hang for the rest of the time.
I hope you all enjoy the weekend.

Saturday my Son and I are picking up one of his buddies from our old neighborhood so he can stay overnight.
Got some friends coming over on Sunday for some swimming, grilling, and swilling!
Monday I plan to do as little as possible, definitely nothing productive.
I usually don't go too far out of town on Holidays anyway. The price of fuel has not changed our travel plans at all this year. I do hope it keeps at least a few of the bonehead drivers at home though.

Saturday is our daughter's 25th b-day. She lives in Goleta, so we are headed there Friday night, and staying thru Monday AM. We are hoping the weather doesn't wash-out the Chalk Festival in Santa Barbara Saturday!!Got 3 adults and two teenagers driving up, and then we will add my nephew and niece for the ride back. I figure about $150 for fuel, it's $500+ for the motel, and then meals. Dang it would have been nice to pull the trailer to Carpinteria!! But the campground was already full when we tried making reservations 1-1/2 months ago!
Oh well, memories will be made!!!!

Wish I was you guys! Fuel prices are definitely cutting me short on trips. Just can't afford those obscene prices for fuel! This weekend I would have stayed local anyway, don't like to travel much on the crazy holiday weekends. But sure miss traveling a lot the rest of the year! Did about 4 major trips just last year and several short ones. None so far this year and it ain't looking good until at least November. Happy trails to all you guys who can still get to do it!!!

Going to stick close to home this weekend. We generally stay off of the road on the big weekends.
September & October will be the big travel times this year. Dove opener in Yuma (that's one big weekend I will travel) followed by a trip up to Spokane later in the month, then in October a trip to northern Nevada for some Chuckar hunting.
My buddy up there says that the first time you go out for chuckar is the only time you really hunt them - after that you are merely seeking revenge.
Bill and Don, you guys travel safe!

LOL, I hear that!
Saw a lot of quail up in Paso this last weekend. And saw one with about a dozen little chicks following her around. Cutest little things, about the size of a mouse right now. Still brown and yellow striped.
I don't hunt upland much any more, but rarely miss the Dove opener.

Yeah, 7 years early at this point.
Going to be a busy 2015 spring for us. We're planning a long weekend in the Sierra's for the trout fishing opener, which is always the last Sat in April. Then I've got a long weekend for a pig hunt on the Jack Ranch in mid-May. Then the first week in June we're taking a 7 day cruise to Glacier Bay, AK. With all that, I think Memorial Day will be a rest-up weekend.
