The Planning Stage

Finally got my reference letter in (that's a load off) and they are sending our agreements in the mail. They should be here anytime in the next few weeks!  So I've been making very extensive lists of all the things we need to bring.  And it's a lot.  Not sure how it is all going to fit in Mike's Jeep.  Plus we have to bring the turtles.  They should love a 5 day drive cross country...

Little Herb and Charlie! Ready for the adventure too!






Also, a few days ago, Mike and I took some time to plan our route.  It's going to take about 5 days and we are going to visit some fun places!  Here it is all lined out:

Day 1

Lynchburg, VA to Dale, IN

Day 2
Dale, IN to St. Louis to Independence, MO

Day 3
Independence, MO to Council Bluffs, IA to Rapid City, SD

Day 4
A fun day of Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument and Deadwood then back to Rapid City for the night

Day 5
Rapid City to Cody, WY and then its on to Yellowstone!!

Our Route West!
