Utah~Strut Your Mutt~May 19, 2007

[cmayer31]

I think that I'm going to aim at still camping in the mountains/forest. The KOA is kind of steep for tent camping, and I think my parents are using their trailer that weekend.

I can meet up with everyone at any time. However, I think I'm going to head out on a few hikes and stay a bit more remote to make it a nice break from the city.

I think our best bet would to be to stay at the KOA since we have a pop-up trailer camper. Also, we're going to be staying for almost a week, so I will *need* atleast a shower or two.

So jealous over here . Have fun everyone, i will eagerly wait for photos of the event/s.

Just thought that I would bump this up.

I confirmed with my coworkers that I'm the only one asking for time off around this date, and my paid time off has been approved. I managed to get some extra cash, so I'll be there for sure.

Yay!

Just thought I would let everyone know that I have created a dog pack. We are the Pet Talk Pack. If you register before the event DON'T FORGET to choose that as your dog pack!! We can compete for the Golden Mutt award as a dog pack! To register online or before the event (pre-registration is $5 cheaper) go here http://www.utahpets.org/strut.html Set up a fundraising page too, its fun, here's mine http://www.active.com/donate/sym07/nebokeva2007

p.s. You do not have to fundraise to go to the event, everyone is welcome in our dog pack reguardless if they are planning to raise money or not.

To anyone camping~~I keep thinking about this, and I really don't know of the best place to stay. I'm going to leave it up to everyone else, but I'm happy to help any way that I can. I don't really have any more info than what is available on the internet. There are two KOA's (with showers) nearby, one is in Provo (closer to me) and one is in Salt Lake City (closer to Strut Your Mutt). The one in Salt Lake City is probably nicer, I haven't been there though. You *can* reserve KOA spots. You can't reserve the camping in the canyons until after memorial day. They have water and toilets, that's it, but a much prettier location. Whatever everyone chooses is fine with me, even if we are at different locations we can all meet up to go to SYM/hiking/etc.

Okay, so where is everyone camping? We decided on Utah Lake State Park. They seem to be very dog friendly, they are allowed on trails, beaches, etc. No additional fee, $18 a night.

Utah Lake State Park looks nice, plus it's on the way for me to Salt Lake City. When is everyone arriving? I have to find a sub to teach my Friday lessons- if I can, then I will probably get there Friday afternoon (the day before Strut your Mutt).

[cmayer31]

I'm going to try and get there that Thursday, but I'm not 100% sure what time I'll be arriving. I'll probably just leave early morning from here and get there between 3-4pm.

I registered for the event and wrote in Pet Talk as the pack.

I've never been to Utah Lake State Park. I've been to Utah Lake, but just various areas....though I do remember my mom mentioning that campground a while ago, I was going to check it out but I forgot. It looks nice though, good choice Kay.

I think we'll all be arriving around the 17th. Does everyone have a cell phone? We'll have to make a phone number list and pm it so we can all find eachother. I don't have a cell phone, but I think Kay does, and I may be able to steal my parents phone. I'm sure driving around the campground we'll find eachother too, just look for the dogs, they're all easy to recognize.

[Kfamr]

Yeah, anyone who wants to give me their number/wants my number, PM me. I just got a cellphone so I could use it on the trip.

To those who want to meet up (Vela, Dab_20, anyone else..) but can't go to Strut Your Mutt lets plan on meeting at the pond at Sugarhouse Park at 12:30. Does that sound ok? I was thinking maybe we could have lunch too, I'm not sure how to work that. Maybe I could leave a cooler in my car with some stuff for sandwiches. Any ideas?
