The Grand Tour
For a few years now I have been thinking of this trip. It is a long route to Wisconsin where
my sister-in-law and her family live. I have the entire basic route plotted out. The idea is
to hit the various cities but our exact plan of how many days this will take is up in the air.

We are currently shooting for August of 2010 to make this trip. We are not going to be reserving
motels. We may camp in some places, we may get mom and pop motels the entire way. We may stay one
night in some places and two or more in others. It all depends on what we encounter along the way.
This will be a true adventure to say the least.
