Summer 393 WE Itinerary: Great Plains/Rocky Mountains, 2008

Yellowstone Option

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.
