2016 Family Reunion

The 2016 Reunion is approx 15 months away but we have to make the reservations in approx 2 and ½ months, so we need INPUT.

We are hoping to have the Reunion at Yellowstone (first choice from last time but couldn’t get).  If we cannot, we were thinking maybe, just maybe the relatively new resort in Granby CO, the Rocky Mt Preserve [the Continental Divide, rugged natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains with the western flare of a historical mining town, Colorado River Headwaters Scenic and Historic Byway] can get more info if want on this or others; as it is only fair that the families in the ID & UT area (and that # is growing) don’t have to drive so far this time.

If we cannot get Yellowstone or the Rocky Mt Preserve we were thinking of one of the resorts in the northern part of UT or one in ID – 1st Wolf Creek, 2nd Bear Lake (these two because of unit sizes & layout and what is around the resort) or McCall or Arrow Point (near Coeur D’Alene) in ID; for the same reasons as UT.  These resorts have been mentioned before as places to visit, with the exception of the Rocky Mt Preserve (as it is newer), as resorts to stay at.

We just have to know who thinks they can make it & to let us know which week would be better.  We may need to adjust the week by when we can get reservations.   We do realize that for the families in CA, OR even WA the drive to Yellowstone, Rocky Mt Preserve, northern UT or ID will be longer than "usual"; but the ID & UT branches have done it a couple to a few times already.

As I understand it Samuel & Trista’s girls are in school until June 9th or 10th (2016).  We need to know which week would be the best – 11th - 18th or 18th - 25th?  If Yellowstone, the earlier in June the better chance of getting units.

Derek, when are you out of school?  Richard, you too?

Please let us know if you think you can make it & which week is better.  We need this info so we can get a count of the # of units we will need to reserve.

We need your input & info ASAP so we can get organized for making the reservations.

Again, if you want any info on the resorts please ask & I’ll get it to you ASAP.
