OUR ROUTE

The plan is to leave Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, June 14th and drive all the way up the west coast, hitting Sacramento, Portland, and Seattle, then continue east through Idaho, Montana, etc to see Mount Rushmore in South Dakota and maybe visit our friend BKraj in Omaha. We will then continue on to Wisconsin, where we'll be hanging out for a few weeks. Amanda will be staying with her family in Waukesha and Betsy will be living and working at a Girl Scout Camp in Merrill.

In late August, the trip resumes through Milwaukee, Chicago, and on to Allentown, Boston, and possibly all the way up to Maine. We will then head down the east coast, all the way to Port Charlotte, FL. From there, we will start to come back west, with a detour through Baton Rouge, LA to visit our friends in the band Streamline. After we pass through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, we're planning on arriving back in Los Angeles on September 18th, 2008.

Here's what the trip looks like on a map:


Yes, we know. We're insane.
