Checked into it after my post to you. Don't need one if I have a valid DL and a birth certificate. I've got the valid DL will have to search for the other. My kids only need valid birth certificates. I can handle that.

Anji,

I still planning on loading the family up and coming east in July. Gas prices are the stopper. If they get too high it's a no go. Our Canada trip will be a short one. Up in one day spend a couple there and drive home.

You have no idea how much I want to be there in July! I just keep hoping for some financial miracle to come through. Unfortunately, jobs, even low-paying crappy jobs, are very scarce here now, and my sister's wedding is coming up, which is another expense, at least a happy one!
But I'll keep hoping. You never know........

I found this awesome video and thought you might enjoy it.
My family and I are still planning on going north this spring to see this great event.

I come across that video every now and then. I give it 5 stars every time.

thanks - I hadn't seen it
it's excellent
I personally do wonder whether the females actually know which male they are mating with - and how would we know that they actually picked him, and it wasn't just the one who managed to latch on?

James,

April/May time. I need to make some calls to them to narrow it down some. The family will be well equiped with multiple digital cameras and camcorders. I have a high def. camcorder that will be going. The kids and I were reading "The Snake Scientist" and can't wait for the trip. The kids grades are very good and I have plenty of vacation time built up. They can miss a few days of school and I don't mind missing work.

Excellent book! I bought it "for my son" when he was just a couple months old and read it to him almost everynight!

I am sure you know this but from their website the first 2 weeks of May are usually the best time to go. They say two weeks prior and two weeks following are pretty good also but that the most massive balls will be seen in the early days of May.

Also if you don't mind becoming Guidofatherof9 for a few days, we will tag along as well!
