| During this Summer Camp on The
Road we will travel through six states, close to 3,000 miles, driving
on average a hundred miles each day. Actually, most days we will drive
more like 200 miles and then stay a full day, two nights, in the same
place. A map of the
route is in here. In the itinerary below: The distances are
straight line miles between points, over-the-road measured miles will
most often be at least twice the straight-line miles. |
