I don't think you are over thinking it, and I am pretty committed to trying the Northwet for a GC...

Our goal is to leave IL at the beginning of June, up through MI, across the northern plains and into the Yellowstone NP area. Exiting the GC we would like to go through Salt Lake City and down to the Phoenix/Tuscon area for the winter and then from there do our west coast loop.
I guess the only concern is for what weather we could encounter as we look at September. Nothing would be worse than snow with a bunch of STMs trying to get to and from the location.
The other consideration for location is making it accessible for our Canadian STMs. Since I'm not familiar with the great NW and all its issues, what location would keep the most logical routes open even in the case of some early snow? If we are looking at the SE area ID would some place near I-86 and I-15 between Twin Falls and Idaho Falls be the "sweet spot"? That would seem to give some good interstate routing options to the folks coming from the NW and through the mountains that should be easier to negotiate in questionable weather. I know a couple suggestions that might be in that area have been tossed out but I don't recall what they were.
Given the potential terrain and weather challenges I think it is important that we really plan this one carefully to make sure we make it as successful as the GC@CL and open to as many as possible. To be honest, I'm concerned about the numbers of RVMs that can attend a GC in the NW. How many can seriously commit to one in that area.
Sorry to sound so...organizational about the thing. While you and Steve did a phenomenal job with CL. You were right there to scope it out and Steve put together a lot of things to make it so successful. My concern with this GC is that there doesn't appear anyone with a good knowledge of the area and in a position to replicate the work you did. We really need someone to be in a place to do the legwork.
Now...granted...perhaps I have overestimated the potential for the weather and terrain to be a problem in late August to early September. I also want to make sure that we find a place that folks want to go to. Keep in mind that the shortest driving distance from any Canadian location close to Lethbridge, AB to a central point like Pocatello is about 950km/590mi. From the BC area it is more like 1400km/870mi.
OK...maybe I am overthinking this too.   |

Shirt I saw today. This is for Tim & Dwayne. "If God wanted us to be vegetarians, He'd have made broccoli more fun to shoot."
The vegetarians amongst us, please avert your eyes! (And for you, I know this is not funny.)

Clear sky, very light breeze and perfect temperature, whatever that is. Redding, Rockport sounds a lot like this. Except for the water. I can even smell fresh Tarmac wafting across the harbor! Mmm-mmmm! 😉

Hey guys, I need your help. Is there a good, cheap way to tighten the nut on a propane tank line without chewing up the nut? I'd like to have something I can leave on the line. I went looking for a propane tank wrench and really didn't find that thin cheap thingy I remember.
Should I just buy a cheap adjustable wrench and forget trying to find the correct size?
