The plan is to head out there with you guys, then drive to Wisconsin and spend 2 weeks with her family before heading home. Fortunately the girls ride really well, but we're still trying to break up the trip as much as possible. Probably drive to Colorado then take a day off to bum around a bit before heading on to Moab.
Any restrictions with bringing a dog that I should know about?
Yeah, there is...can't bring a dog to a National Park. Canyonland National Park has a few of the trails that some VXers go on, so no doggie there. You may have seen one pic of Zeus (Justin) with Menace, that was in Canyonland, and he didn't get busted there, but did tell me he got "ticketed or fined" another time with the dog.
I found a doggie day care/boarding place just 2-3 miles South of town. Paul Phines and I were going to keep our 3 dogs (my 2) together for the day we went there. As it turned out I was too pooped for that trip, and just Paul kenneled his dog there (I think overnight). Can't recall the name of the place right now, but if Sonya is staying with the girls, she should keep the dog. The lady that ran the doggie place was a bit, shall we say "eccentric"...she must have called me on my cell phone 5-6 times to find out if we were coming to drop the dogs off, blah blah blah.. I told her I'd pay for the night even if we didn't make it, and she was spun up about that as it would take a space (well 2 spaces) away from some one else that needs to kennel their dog/s.....it was weird. I'd look for a different kennel if you need one.
Pets are not allowed in the backcountry of Canyonlands National Park. This includes all four-wheel-drive roads and hiking trails. Pets may accompany visitors in frontcountry areas, which include overlooks, paved and two-wheel-drive dirt roads, and the Squaw Flat and Willow Flat campgrounds, but must be leashed when outside a vehicle. Pets may not be left unattended, tied or physically confined in the frontcountry to facilitate backcountry travel.

Will be awesome to see you and another Foxfire! YAH!!!!
) but we'll have to bring the girls with us. The inn you guys stay in sounds okay for a pair of adults, but I'm a little concerned there won't be much to do for the little ones during the day (Sonya will probably stay in the hotel in the afternoons so the girls can nap). Are there any places to stay that might have stuff like wifi, pay-per-view, etc? Entertainment options will make the time in the hotel pass much faster.
