RoadTrip: family: leaving this Weds for Ruby Mts then Tetons, Yellowstone, Idaho, Glacier, Colorado-wards, then northeastwards

Dear family & close friends,
Just FYI on my immediate plans. I'm leaving this Wednesday to join CNPS folk in the Ruby Mts of Nevada, before heading on to the Tetons, where I will be meeting up with Sandy and her friend Peter after all.  (We thought we were going to miss each other by a week heading in opposite directions, but Sandy decided to enjoy the Michigan weather for another week before leaving for the Tetons.  Yay!)  I may be tagging along with those two through Yellowstone and then west into Idaho, before heading off in opposite directions again - I may head north to Glacier NP, then work my way back south along the Rockies into Colorado, then vaguely onward probably northeasterly to the Great Lakes and Northern New England by October, then hope to stay at Liz's home over the winter months (formally renting a room for the duration probably) then by Feb or sooner head south to Florida and other southern states working my way back west, ideally getting to CA by April to continue my Pacific Quest Trail hike.

Oh, good... we are going to meet up. My sister still needs somebody to water the plants and feed the cats at the end of August while on their honeymoon.
I'll miss you this winter,but will try to keep busy either studying spanish in Guatemala and/or going to Hawaii with Bud and Michael. I had hoped you and the three of us could share a room so you and I could go hiking and snorkling. I'd like to hike the PCT in spring with you.
I plan on leaving MI on July 30th for the Tetons.
Sandy
