Winterim 393 WE Itinerary 2008

SOME VERY IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTES!  

1. ROAD hours mean moving time; these DO NOT include the meals or potty stops.  The longer we take dallying with meals or other diversions, the later we arrive.  Simple and sad 4th grade geography:  "Time = Rate * Distance".  Rate, and so time and distance accomplished, is 0 in stop.

2. The schedule below is TENTATIVE. If the weather is inclement, we will adjust schedules and routes to visit during better conditions.
