I told Doug that I would be in charge of planning the first week of our trip this summer. We are planning on taking...hold on a minute while I check....8 days to get from Orlando to Idaho for our family reunion. So now I need to actually sit down and plan it. That needs to include a couple of days in Colorado.
So here is my general method for figuring this out.
1. Mapquest the route to get an idea of generally the best way to go, and what is on the way.
Well, Mapquest wants us to go through Missouri and Kansas, so we need to figure out a new route.
2. Look at a National Park map to see which sites we need to go to on the way. The goal for this trip: Tuskeegee in Alabama, possibly Tupelo National Battlefield in Mississippi, Arkansas Post NM, Abilates Flint Quarries in the Texas panhandle, Capulin Volcano in New Mexico and Great Sand Dunes in southern Colorado. I'll see if I can work it all out.
3. Hopefully I can also find the time to stop at some other places on the way.
