The Plan
Damn it Valentine, you never plan ahead, you never take the long view, I mean here it is Monday and I'm already thinking of Wednesday... It is Monday right? -- Earl Bassett ~ Tremors
Two days to go!
Danbo asked me what our route was. I suppose this is a good time give you the “short read”.
We leave Thursday morning and follow 94 over to Chicago. From there we follow Route 66 to Flagstaff AZ. Route 66 is not totally complete any more, so we will use the expressway but exit often to look for the old alignments (Rich, this is not a bad word in regard to the old road). Stops include St. Louis, Tulsa, Tucumcari, Los Alamos and Holbrook.
After Flagstaff it’s north to the Grand Canyon and the mule trip, then Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley and Mesa Verdi. On into Colorado and the million-dollar highway, a short back track to Moab and Arches Natl. Park, East to Rocky Mountains Natl. Park, Cheyenne and home.
So that’s the short version, who knows what it will really be. Maybe we will sell the MINI in Denver and fly home. Stay tuned…..
