So far the conversation is set for the fall sometime. SOOOOOO many unknowns still. I'm currently working 16 hour days for the next 7 weeks at least, so it's unfortunately in the back of my mind :/

Fall sounds great. A few of us went out to Moab last October and it was wonderful as usual.
Please let me know if there's anything at all I can do to help.

Assuming the border re-opens in time, I will be there and if my powers of persuasion don`t fail me, Mrs. Howesight will join me. She loves the Solstice events and Moab, but hates our long highway drive.

We're in. I'm a lover of sunshine, but by Fall we're fully topped up. Adding some shade/green is a bonus. Where were you guys in this photo?

I agree that Fall is likely the best time since hopefully the vaccines will have had a positive affect on our ability to travel and gather.
How is the Labor Day weekend (Sept 2-5) for your school situation? That weekend will be a holiday for most folks here in the US.

Drive down a week early.
This gives you time to bumble around and fix your van.
Pick up the Mrs. at the airpot in Grand Junction CO. the day before the event.

This is what I frequently do with my wife Donna. Denver is only a short half day away.

Yes, but there's probably shade in Maryland. Lone Mesa not so much. |
