PART ONE - ROUTES AND MAPS
It is important to note that this plan is merely that - a plan. Without a clairvoyant view of weather and other circumstances, I cannot predict the actual route and distance and timing. It is safe to say that an additional day may be required. Distances are computed using mapping software. Because I will be using many off-IH roads, distances may vary. It is possible that some time will be consumed gaining access to the aircraft sites. This will affect the plan. It is also possible that I may party enroute and this could affect my departure time in the morning. To keep up with where I am and where I will be next, you will need to access the JOURNALS item under the HISTORY menu selection list in the menu bar above. (On the maps below, lavendar line = plan / black line = actual)
