Its finally summer here and its time to jump in the car and take off.  Cray is not going with me on this jaunt but thats ok.  He and I made it to Mammoth Cave NP last fall, the Statue of Liberty this spring and intend to go to Cuyahoga River Valley NP later in the year.

On this trip, I plan to go see Massey in Branson.  She is working this summer at Kids Across America camps in southwestern Missouri.  After our short visit, I will drive to Denver to pick up Crockett.  He has been doing work crew for Young Life at the Crooked Creek Ranch near Fraser, Colorado.  He wants to look at colleges out there so we are going to do our best at boondoggling.  We will stay a night in Boulder and one in Fort Collins before making our way into Rocky Mountain NP for some camping.  We will then head west to Moab, Utah to do some Jeep crawling in Arches NP.  Afterwards, we will head back to Big Sulphur Springs, CO, to rendevous with the Young Life backpacking trip.  Crockett will get to stay and hike for a week with Ethan and others and take the bus home.  I will head on back after dropping him off.

As always, I will try to post some pictures and updates.  Please send me your comments and questions.  I may not be able to answer but we like the conversation!

Crockett looks like he is really working hard under very harsh conditions! How fun for you, Lee, to have this trip. I love driving across America and I love doing it vicarously through your postings. Give us lots of words and pictures.

Sounds like you've got a full summer! Would love to see Massey sometime, especially since she's only a few hours away. From the picture above, it looks like they had quite a downpour or is everything in a lake? :) Can't wait to follow you around this summer!
