Pieman-
You have hit exactly a main point of frustration with many people.
Right now I am tossing Monumrnt Valley/Moab around along with Grand Canyon North Rim....IF I can still go Friday, I will flip a coin sometime before Gallup and decide West or North?
If someone said to me, "I would love to go to Moab! It might help me decide on Moab as a final destination over Grand Canyon, and I would tell them my tentative plans for getting there. If that works for them, that's fine, and if it doesn't, then that's fine too.
I guess that is the East Tennessee version of, "here is my plans, so "Y'all Come!"...if you can, and if you can't, that's fine, too.
I have been CEO and Chairman of a large political action committee, and can attest that events can be planned to death, and you still can't please a high percentage of the people involved.
So, you just lay it out, and it either works or doesn't for those people....and you move on.
(Never underestimate the power of stupid people in committees....these are the ones whose mothers always told them, "Never look stupid, always have a question or input.")
