Itinerary Planning

Much as I hate using the word "planning", sometimes it's necessary to let others know what we're up to and where and when we're going to be on our trip.  So here goes:

May 8 (Monday) - Leave Reno and travel to West Wendover, NV.  Want to start our trip solely within the confines of Nevada and also take advantage of the Peppermill facilities over in Wendover.

May 9 (Tuesday) - Leave West Wendover and wend our way over (pun intended) toward the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park.  There are some back roads which will take us over to US 89 where we'll head north.  Not sure where the second night on the road will be, but somewhere either in Idaho, Wyoming or Montana (how's that for narrowing it down). 

We'll travel through Montana to North Dakota and want to spend a day or so in the Mott/Flasher/Shields area where Vi has some relatives and we can do some research on the family tree.

May 12 (Friday) - Arrive Fargo.  Michelle and Adrian have kindly offered to take us in while in Fargo.  Reilee's graduation from NDSU is on the 13th and they plan on a party in Mapleton.  Visiting family and catching up will be fun - it's been a while since we've been back there.

May 16 (Tuesday) - Depart Fargo for Rochester.  We'll keep you posted on how we do that - we just know it won't be through Chicago.

May 19 (Friday) - Arrive Rochester to visit Tim and Kathy.

May 22 (Monday) - Depart Rochester for Morrisville to visit Tom III and Carolyn.

May 24 (Wednesday) - Leave Morrisville for Ashland, NH to be with Mary Ann and Stuart for a couple of days before heading over to Bates College for Danny's graduation.

May 26 - (Friday) Ashland, NH to Lewiston, ME.  Danny's graduation is on Sunday.

May 28 - (Sunday) - Leave Lewiston to head back to Tom III and Carolyn's.  Not sure what our plans are for that week.

June 2 - (Friday) - Morrisville to Rochester to celebrate Tim's birthday weekend (June 4th).

June 5 - (Monday) - Leave Rochester and head to Denver.

June 8 - (Thursday) - Arrive Denver to spend some time with Paul and Sandy.

June 10 - (Saturday) - Depart Denver and head home.

OK, that's it - we'll see how the "plan" works out.  Look forward to seeing everyone.  Hopefully, the Red Baron, Vi's driving, and audio books will see us safely through the trip.
