Hooray for Will! Thanks for taking the plunge for us all.
If I can do it without breaking the law, I'll be there again this year.

No refund yet
Let's wait till May 21, scheduled opening date, before we throw the baby out with bathwater. Or maybe we should wait till July?

I just read a report that camp grounds in Illinois are opening with full facilities the first of June. This is a very repressive state, so if we are opening I'm sure Wyoming will be open, certainly by July. So make your plans to join us at New Forks Group site in Pinedale.

Hey Will, can you direct me to more detailed info about Walk the Winds? A web site perhaps or past years event info? I'm assuming it's usually very warm, but, I'm just a stinkin midwesterner with no out west experience.
It's a big trip for me and I was originally thinking of an early fall trip out that way, but, if the heat won't kill me maybe I'll look at this trip.
Thanks, TimC

I see some jackets on in the evening for the lantern light. I'm all about cozy cool nights! I can stand heat during the day as long as I get to sleep cool!

As long as you pack for three seasons you will be fine. I've been to this gathering twice before and sleeping has always been comfortable.

Woodbutcher wrote:... Mike, you have to be the worst salesman I ever met. If Wyoming is not open by the end of July, there will not be any country left to travel in. States with a lot larger population then WY are already starting to open Parks. Relax, take a deep breath and invite the people to join you in Pinedale for a great weekend. By July everyone will want to get out a see one of the most beautiful area's in the Country. Join us in Pinedale, we'll leave a light on for ya.
I hafta agree... I am really excited about planning for this trip and I know that it might not happen, but, the repeated reminders of it won't happen because... is really unnecessary. We all know what might happen. I'd rather have a positive buildup and then get let down hard than what we are seeing here. But then, what do I know?
I'm looking forward to side trips to Glacier and Yellowstone, but, I'm open to suggestions of places to see. Probably traveling west Via US 2 to Glacier then south on unknown route to WTW. I'm more a go slow and take it in traveler. I don't need to see it all, just experience it at a leisurely pace. Probably boondocking my way staying in NF lands.

Slowcowboy, I am certainly glad you have adopted this as your special project
Recreation.gov, which you love to quote STILL SHOWS JULY 30 TO AUGUST 2 AS RESERVED
I have NOT been notified of a cancellation or been issued a refund
IF YOU (SLOWCOWBOY) DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE THAT IS YOUR CHOICE....
Life is a series of choices.
My choice is to try to make this gathering happen.
If anyone else wants to attend, GREAT,.
Y'all come now, hear..
Will

Will, I just went on Recreation.gov. I can reserve the group site right now, starting with the first of June. I chose an open date and went all the way to paying and it let me. Had there been a problem with FUTURE reservations, the dates would not have gotten into my cart for payment.
As I have done for past gatherings at New Forks I attended, on Tuesday I will call the Pinedale Ranger Station and talk directly to them. Hopefully this will give some closure to Slow Cowboy.
