Preparations

This Friday is the start of Spring Break. Here in Jackson we are fortunate enough to get 2 weeks off. So instead of staying around a muddy, and very slushy Jackson, we have decided to take a trip to somewhere that is absolutely not Jackson-like in anyway. Our first thought was Arches National Park, however looking into this park we found it was a bit small for 8 days of adventure. Also there is only one campground and it was pretty much booked. So we shifted a bit to the west and found Canyonlands National Park.

Essentially we will be spending most of the trip at Canyonlands in the Needles district.  If it all works out we will spend our last two nights at Arches National Park. If there is an open campsite. So needless to say I wont be blogging for the next two weeks, and then there will be a flurry of posts from our vacation. We will also be adding our first non-home patch to the kids National Park Hoodies. A brilliant idea Kevin had, that we get hoodies for the kids. Put their names on them and then add patches from all the parks we visit. Of course having our two home parks represented on each sleeve (GTNP and Yellowstone).
