The Plan

7 6+ 5+Week Driving Trip to see the West, all of it......before the girls, and their parents, get too old!

The Motto

“Focus on the journey, not the destination.
Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”

Or as Captain Jack would say,
"It's not the destination, so much as the journey."

Wyoming Blue!

Lost A Week!

The first major redraw of the map due to an even shorter summer. The lost week included Salt Lake, Park City (Moose's Pub), Deer Valley (Chicken Chili), Alta, and at least one of the Utah parks like Bryce, Zion, Arches or Grand Staircase, The North Rim, Mesa Verde, and Telluride. I knew when I booked the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim it was too good to be true! No way to keep that reservation and commute 2,000+ miles before breakfast the next morning. On the plus side, the new route adds Devils Tower, The Black Hills, Deadwood, Sturgis, Mount Rushmore, The Bad Lands, and The National Grasslands. Maybe we can even squeeze in lunch at Warren Buffet's favorite cafe in Omaha!

The Map had been tweaked to perfection.  From the original plan, we dropped Southern California, and rerouted to add Death Valley, Jasper, and Banff.  (Nothing against SoCal....we’ll pick that up on a 2 week fly in trip in the future.)


The Revised Map due to the lost week, some good, some bad!
