And you're complaining?

I found them some lodging in McCall. At least it's a bit more remote
and less expensive than Sun Valley.

dam strait we'll all be complaining when we are in a major drought
situation. The forests will close, the rivers will be too low to run...
there is only one ski area in all of the state of WA that is open right now.

Would you quit saying remote in reference to towns that have cable TV and
espresso? Now, Warren, Yellow Pine... that's remote.

I guess I should clarify further - the responsibility of entertaining also
includes entertaining my wife as she doesn't ride either.

Which girls would be babysitting? I though all that were going on this trip
would be riding as well.

It sounds like I'm complaining but I'm not. My wife gives me more freedom
than most do for the SO's. She loves to hike and does ride some but has a
horrible depth perception problem that results in more hike-a-bike than
riding (and a horrible sense of direction). She tries to do everything
(she's actually a decent water/snow skier) but gets really frustrated that
she isn't able to do what she's trying to do at the moment. I think she'll
be happy just being away from the city as long as she is in company of those
that can handle the more difficult parts of the outdoors (like keeping her
from getting lost.........)

I've already told her we're going.........

Oh yeh, that works. I told my SO we're moving to a warmer climate. She
told me you can visit the kids whenever you want.

I made the mistake of trying to water ski a few years ago. My right
shoulder was already chronically f-ed (actual medical term), so I
compensated by tweaking my LEFT shoulder! (For a while, I literally "threw
like a girl" with my noodly left arm; it's better now, but the Padres ain't
inviting me to spring training any time soon.)

Then I took my worst mtb fall (so far), and totally ripped my right rotator
cuff. Eventual surgery, 6 weeks off bike, etc. etc.

IOW, I'll drive the boat, I'll RIDE in the boat, but ain't no one gonna talk
me into gettin' DRAGGED by dat boat!

Actually if it gets her away from her job of managing 30+ babies then she'd
jump at the chance. She's crapped in the woods a plenty and often talks
about drip drying (guess it's hard to shake it!). She loves the outdoors
and continually talks about getting a tent trailer or small travel trailer
to have a bed to sleep in (the air mattreses have gotten bett so she's
backing off a bit).....that's great but it's more responsibility for me
making sure it's ready, towing it, etc.

Now if I told her we were moving to Philly she'd come back with the same
response as your wife.

I understand. I messed up my back water skiing and it's never been the
same. I can't sleep flat or I wake up in tons of pain. I even bought one
of those sleep number things that didn't improve anything. I sleep in my
Lazyboy recliner now and feel much better. So having said all that......I
still water ski every now and then. The first pull of the season is the
worst....two days later.

If I'm not driving the boat, I'm drinking beer.....HIT IT!
