Hey that sounds great... have fun!

And disregard my phone message inviting you to dinner tonight... I called before I saw you were leaving town.

I had to look up yurting. I didn't know this existed. So apparently there are varying degrees of luxuriousness when it comes to a yurt. Tell me about the yurts you'll be in. Did you take the kids?

I too had to look up yurting. Great word. So it's posh camping or, in Bret's case, slumming it:) Sorry Bret, I'm sure you'd only yurt(?) in the poshest of posh yurts. I hasten to add, I'm in no way besmirching you:)

Have fun, Rob.

A yurt is a glorified tent.

If you go to youtube you can type in "goblin valley state park yurts" and see a nice video tour of one of their two yurts.

Like a stripped down version of what New Englanders would call a "cabin," except the deck/porch thing is pretty fancy. Is this particular to this park or is this a west coast thing? Happy yurting.
