Based on our personal and work schedules, we're pretty much unable to leave for the Alley until after May 15th. After looking at models over the past week, it's evident there's a good active period around the May 8-10 timeframe (somewhere in there) but isn't doable. After that, it looks like a bit of a lull in the weather. Longer range out from that, where it gets harder to forecast with any sort of confidence, looks like things pick back up. The question is when? The May 17-21 timeframe is showing some promise as is the end of May into early June. 

We'll see what the models have to offer over the course of the next week and decide when to pull the trigger and head down.
