Goodbye!

This is me signing off, before Mike packs the computer.  We will take about two weeks to drive home, passing through a host of National Parks on our way.  Here is about what I think the trip will look like (Mike did the planning on this trip, so I may be a little off in my timing). 

Leave Friday, June 29 at 3pm.  Eat German food and sleep in Fredericksburg.
June 30 - drive 6 hours to Carlsbad, NM
July 1 - tour the caves.  Then swim and sleep.
July 2 - drive north to Sante Fe, about 5 hours?  Swim, sleep
July 3 - drive north to Farmington but stop in Chaco Culture National Park on the way to see ruins
July 4 - drive to Mesa Verde.  Explore, stay there.
July 5 - drive West through Monument Valley, sleep in Kayenta, AZ
July 6 - drive North through Bryce Canyon. 
July 7 - explore Bryce Canyon sites
July 8 - drive into Zion.
July 9 - explore Zion sites.
July 10 - Drive to Great Basin National Park.  Stay really late to star gaze with the rangers, then at like midnight pull into our hotel an hour from the park.  Whew.
July 11 - drive to Winnemuka, Nevada.  The embodiment of the middle of nowhere.
July 12 - drive to Klamath Falls.  sleep here.
July 13 - drive to Crater Lake and explore.  Drive on to Roseburg and sleep there.
July 14 - arrive HOME!!!!!! This is a Saturday.

Wish us luck!!!!
