I can assist slightly, but I'm afraid it simply won't fit into my schedule until tomorrow

I'm thinking about a trip in October. I can get a timeshare for next to nothing, my AP doesn't expire until November, I have some credits with SW Air, and I can get a rental car pretty cheap. Now all I need t do is sell the proposition to DW. I'm putting together an intel estimate now!

Hey, I usually go in October - you could stop by the Kiwi for a Kungaloosh.

Another point to add to the estimate! When are you going?

I havent made my reservations yet, but probably around the 15th through the 25th.

That would work for us. Now to do a sales job. Unfortunately this will be around the time the new grandson will be baptised.

Now an off topic question. I know that folklore holds that the peacocks were driven off by the otters in an internecine war (over whiskey, kungaloosh and beer).

When did the peacocks actually leave?

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I think in Feb 04 my wife and I went to WL and I took a picture of the white peacock at FW then. I believe by the end of that year, they were gone. I may be wrong, however.

Yea, I agree that around 2004 is when they finally decided to "relocate" them. I definitely know they weren't there 3 years ago, so that sounds about right.

 

[ntsammy5]

Sounds about right -- I remember tripping over one in 2002 in a drunken stupor (me not the peacock) and I wasn't sure if I remembered correctly or had been having hallucinations. I don't remember them from a Jan 2004 trip though. Thanks.
