I will be driving to the IFC Symposium in Portland. My trip out will be a straight shot out I-70 to I-15 (I may go south on I-25 so I can drive 160 west through the 4-corners area), then south to Las Vegas, west to Bakersfield and north on 99. If Tioga Pass is open, I may go north from Las Vegas to Lee Vining and over the pass to Yosemite. I will be attending a family memorial for my late mother, and from there north on I-5 to Portland. Coming home will be north to Spokane, then northeast to Taber, southeast to Wyoming, south to I-80, and then east back to Columbia. I'll probably take in Banff and maybe Medicine Hat. This route is more open to changes and time extensions. As always, I am happy to stop within a reasonable distance of my route provided time allows. I am free to discuss and and all ferret issues but cannot ethically comment on stuff I'll be presenting at the symposium. First asked, first answered. Bob C [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML 5636]
