Moostash Joe Tours Monthly – February

Happy February! In case you missed it, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, meaning spring is right around the corner!

February’s edition of Moostash Joe Tours Monthly is here! Simply click on the front cover below to flip through the digital version, which also includes links to each tour page on our website as well as a few helpful videos on select tours.

This month’s publication features a little insight into our annual Tour Director and Home Office Retreat in the Letter from Joey. This year the entire Moostash Joe Tours team spent an afternoon volunteering at the Food Bank for the Heartland. If you aren’t aware, the Food Bank does incredible work feeding folks in Nebraska and western Iowa, and volunteering is a ton of fun!

The cover photo features San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, which is included on our Great Pacific Coast Adventure tour and is year-after-year one of our most popular. The tour also features Crater Lake National Park, which Moostash Joe himself said was “the most scenic sight I’ve ever seen!”

Next, there are quite a few featured upcoming bus tours that have very limited availability, and we encourage you no to wait too much longer if you are at all interested.

Finally, our Discover the Difference page this month highlights Tour Director Nancy Gutschow, who has taken the job by storm! We know you’ll enjoy getting to know a little bit more about her.

February’s Moostash Joe Tours Monthly can also be found on our website under the “TOURS” tab, along with all of our previous monthly publications.
