Back in LA – not for long
August 9, 2006
Figured out the flickr problem, looks like we do need to go pro in order to see more than 200 photos – bummer!
Now that we’re back in LA and Manish working a few days, I’m left with planning our next trip. Looks like the best route from CA to IL would be through Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and then Illinois. We have about 6 days for the drive, and want to cover as many National Parks and cool places as possible. Let me know if any of you have any thoughts on where all to stop. Here is what I was thinking:
Day 1 - Drive straight to Duck Creek Village, UT (450 miles) with a short stop at Cedar Breaks Nat’l Monument which is on the way
Day 2 – Spend some time at Duck Creek, and cover any or all of the following National Parks depending on how much time it will take: Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Arches and stay around Arches Nat’l Park (300 miles). Which one is better? Canyonlands or Arches?
Day 3 - Drive to Denver (350 miles) and stay around there
Day 4 - Drive early morning to Rocky Mountain Nat’l Park, spend a day in the park and stay around there (65 miles)
Day 5 - Drive from Rocky Mtn to middle of Kansas (500 miles or more)
Day 6 - Reach destination! (500 miles or less)
Feel free to comment on our itinerary or suggest a better plan!
