Update #2 – Feb. 10 - I have a rather lengthy, important update to send out by e-mail. If I do not yet have your email address, or you don't get the e-mail, please call me at (951) 440-2958. If you know someone who is going but you don't see them on the list here, please have them call me. IMPORTANT! The second payment of $60 is due by Feb. 28, which is also the cancellation deadline. As of now, we are FULL with 25 people going in 4 condos! If you know anyone else who wants to go, have them call me to be put on a wait list.
Update #1. We had a good turnout and lots of excitement at our informational meeting. I youo didn't arrend and don't have the FAQ handout, please let me know.
At this time, we are accepting confirmed reservations with a deposit of $40 to hold your space. It is refundable until February 28 when another $60 is due, with the remainder payable prior to check in. I can confirm now that the lodging will be no more than $140 for the 4 nights, and as low as $120 depending on the number going. If you would like to make a deposit, or have any other questions, please email me, selstad@fastmail.com or call (951) 440-2958.

There is so much to tell about this event that we can only provide the highlights here. Our next on-person meeting for final planning will be on March 16, so be sure and RSVP for that event.
We will stay 4 nights in Saint George, Utah, at a very nice resort. That gives us three full days to enjoy Zion NP and other wonders of southwest Utah. This is a great trip to bring kids who are old enough to appreciate our national parks. It is about a 6 hour drive, and carpools will be organized. The resort condos sleep 6-8 people (two to a room) and include fully equipped kitchens so that the expense of eating out is minimized.
Cost: Lodging will be $130 or less per person for the 4 nights, double occupancy. The cost of food (eating in) can be shared, as well as the cost of gas for carpools. National park entry fees will be minimal. The total cost for the entire 5-day trip should be well under $300.
