You may want to check with the National Park Service.. its VERY early in the year and that is high elevation and could still be snowed in/closed even in MAY.

Cooke City via Colter Pass to the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway intersection to the Long Lake gate shall open as soon thereafter as possible. Same thing holds for that first trip to Crater Lake when you get to SunriverThe Crater Rim gets lots of snow almost every year. http://www.nps.gov/crla/planyourvisit/hours.htm The park is always open, but many of the roads and facilities are closed during the winter. Visitor Centers - Food - Lodging - Camping - Books and Gifts Visitor Centers Steel Visitor Center - Open early April through early November, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, daily. Winter hours are early November through early April, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, daily except December 25th. Rim Visitor Center - Open early June through late September, 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM, daily. Closed October through May. Up here where I live near Wa Hwy 20 thru the North Cascades, the road has only remained open for one winter... back in the 1970's. Its still closed as of today.. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/passes/northcascades Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,048 #5 March 24, 2010 Hi ac, Congrats on the job; I 'think.' I may just have to drop over and see if you are worth a @#$% on a sewing machine. Quote I will be road tripping across the country from Ft. Myers, Florida to Bend, Oregon. Might I suggest that you go a little farther south to Sunriver, OR. I think Kelly likes his employees working on-site. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adventurechick 0 #6 March 24, 2010 Well, I won't be doing much on the sewing machine, but will be taking over their Marketing Department! I'll be living in Bend and will be working on the road some (boogies/events) and Sunriver :-).

hookitt 0 #9 March 24, 2010 I'm honestly jealous The Infinity is by far my favorite rig and I can even tell people why especially comparing side by side. If you're going to Twin during Memorial weekend, I'll see ya there! Be safe on your travels. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

adventurechick 0 #10 March 24, 2010 Thank you, so much!! I'm so excited! I will be in Oregon by Memorial weekend, but may be there the weekend before. You know anyone that lives in Twin Falls? Also, if you know of anyone interested in an Infinity, send them my way :-) Hope you have a fabulous day and an awesome time at Twin!!

JerryBaumchen 1,048 #15 March 24, 2010 Hi ac, You probably know this but Kelly moved to Sunriver from Puyallup ( try saying that after a couple of brewskis ) because of the sun. It may get ridicuously cold over there, but the sun will be shining. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buff 0 #18 March 25, 2010 Wichita as in Kansas. The ICT, ta-town. Air Capital DZ. Biggest city in the square state. Come on down. Actually you can probably hit ALL THREE (3) KS dropzones on your way to Denver. Go to K-State, then drop by Jen's place, back on I-35 to ACDZ. Alas probably won't happen because we never get anybody dropping by. Well we did have a Norweigen and a trucker once. I think the Norweigen was lost though. But it would be pretty f*ing cool and it will be a reason to break out the good beer It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.
