ROAD STUFF: Are We There Yet?
2003-08-30
At an earlier stage in planning this was the route we were considering. We'll still be covering a major portion of this route, though the Yosemite piece was abandoned in favor of the faster route through Las Vegas -- we've travelled all these areas enough times before to be willing (reluctantly) to trade the splendor of Yosemite for additional time to explore areas we've not travelled so extensively.

And so, like an infant just learning to crawl we're off to explore the world -- or at least the little piece of it we can reach.
Or.... we will be if I ever get myself away from the keyboard. How will I survive two weeks without constantly being within a few feet of a computer?
