So here we are again. Less than a month away from leaving for Moab. I have been moderately excited for the last few months. But now, the real excitement is settling in. So, I decided to make a tentative itinerary for the week. Of course, Ascinder and CrnCnn will be part of most of this, and anyone else is more than welcome to suggest plans, join in with some of mine (except for the Monday night part), etc, etc.
