The Route

Our preliminary route is up! This route takes us approximately 2800 miles into thirteen different states (though we barely make it into Colorado). We fly out for Lancaster, CA tomorrow where we will stay the night before heading off to Death Valley, the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Our exciting first day on the road will conclude with a stop for the night at Grand Canyon Caverns, barring any problems. Other notable stops on our trip include Lake Powell, Monument Valley, Four Corners (hence the bit of Colorado), Palo Duro Canyon, the Ozarks and of course, the Mississippi River. As currently planned, our route will take us from altitudes of approximately 210 feet below sea level in Death Valley to 11,500 feet in a VFR corridor over the Grand Canyon. We realize that things often happen which cause trips to not be completed as planned, but no matter what happens this promises to be a great adventure!
