Ten Days to 6500 Miles

We have ten days to go till we venture out into 22 states and four Canadian provinces on a 6500 mile trek across the plains and prairies to the Rockies and the Great Lakes. We've been planning this trip since December when we made reservations at the lodges in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks to make sure we could stay in the national parks. We've added a few days in Columbus, Ohio, to visit Ben's sister, and a couple of days in Illinois to visit with old Brown University friends Phil and Bobbie Barry--and see a few Frank Lloyd Wright homes too.

We look forward to reporting our finds along the main and back roads of North America. Some days will be long, but others will be delightfully short. We'll go through little known Rocky Mountain passes in the Uintas, we'll boat on two Great Lakes, we'll wine taste in Ohio and Ontario at least, and we'll check out Saskatchewan foods in Regina. Of course we'll attend concerts--at the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, in the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, and who knows in Toronto.

So come back often. We'll try to post something most nights.
