This year is about travel, at least for the first half of the year.
The Grand Canyon
We went to the Grand Canyon again a couple weeks ago.
There wasn't as much snow as we were hoping for, but there was some, and there was a whole herd of elk. Shal took some video of it.

The next morning when we left, we stopped by Bearizona, a sort of zoo/wild animal park. In one part of the park, there was a pack of wolves that were really curious about our car (we're pretty sure they smelled our dogs).
They also had a really awesome birds of prey show, with hawks and owls and a falcon. They had one of the hawks fly very close to the audience, and on one pass, he flew between me and Shal and his wing clipped my head. This is right before that happened:
Mexico
We'll be heading down to Mexico in a couple of months to see GarageDelFuego and his girl get married. That will be awesome.
This Summer
Nothing's final, yet, but the tentative plan is to take a week-long road trip during the first week of July, roughly following this route:
The highlights of that route:
the 395 along the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains
Camping on the western shore of Lake Tahoe
Mount Lassen and Lassen Volcanic National Park
Visiting my Mom
the Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier National Park
the Beartooth highway
Yellowstone National Park
Grand Teton National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park
about a dozen national forests
It should be pretty amazing.
