We have been back and forth with this trip for months. We even firmly cancelled this trip due to an unmissable doctors appointment to which we need to fly to, only for the doctors office to call and reschedule us (and for me to lose my mind). It’s a long story.
Regardless, we have had the dates circled on the calendar for more than half a year and as the dates drew close, with it came more uncertainty. I like to be fully prepared and that is just impossible to do in early spring. Between trying to juggle weather at the lake and traveling weather from southwest Wyoming, I haven’t felt confident until today.
It appears as though southwest Wyoming and most of Utah is going to be getting hit with some weather starting tomorrow. I am leaving work early and hoping to get through most of it by nightfall. Even thinking about going through Colorado instead of Utah because of the incoming weather. It’ll be a game time decision and will likely change as we travel. I’m hopeful the surface temps of the road will stay warm enough for safe travel and just a filthy boat.
SO….with all that… all things are a go! We usually tent camp but are bringing our 8 month old and so we’re going to be staying at the Defiance House hotel in bullfrog.
Your guys’s reports the last couple months have helped TREMENDOUSLY to fuel the fire. I’m going to go re read them and hope I didn’t miss anything!!
Friday and Saturday seem like good weather days to travel a bit. Some afternoon wind so we’re going to hit it hard early both days and plan to be off the water by mid afternoon.
Good Hope bay Friday or Saturday and rincon area whichever other day we don’t head north. We’ll hang around bullfrog/halls creek bay Sunday and Monday morning. When you only get one trip a year, you have to make the most of it!
If anyone else plans to be around this weekend give me a shout. Either send me a message on here or be on the lookout for a black/red/grey skeeter!
Will report back soon!
Cheers!!!
