[T3] Further Planning

[Adriel Rowley]

So been getting some feedback and doing some thinking, so like to get further feedback now that things are becoming more clear.

For one, thinking it be less expensive (more State Park campgrounds), an easier drive, and more enjoyable to go up to Denver and take I80 across?

Day One
Mesa AZ to Villanueva State Park, New Mexico 
7 hours and 45 minutes according to Google
This would avoid treacherous night driving in the mountains.

Day Two
Villanueva State Park to North Sterling State Park, Colorado
7 hours and 30 minutes ''

Day Three 
North Sterling State Park to Rock Creek State Park, Iowa (can't stay in Des Moines)
9 hours ''


Day Four
Rock Creek to Toledo, Ohio
8 hours ''

Day Five
Toledo, Ohio to Long Point Provincial Park, Ontario
4 hours and 15 minutes ''
Know border crossings can be problematic, so figure this give some wiggle room and a jumping off point to Niagara Falls.

Day Six
Long Point to Niagara falls
2 hours and 30 minutes ''

Border crossing

Niagara Falls to Invasion Early Bird Dinner
2 hours ''

Day Seven and Eight
Invasion.
Because the next leg will take at least ten days, figuring might be best to leave Sunday morning.

Day Nine (Sunday): 

Fairport, New York to Nicolet, QC, Canada

7 hours ''



Day Ten (Monday):

Nicolet, QC, Canada to Matane, QC, Canada

5 hours and thirty minutes ''



Day Eleven (Tuesday):

Matane, QC, Canada to Jacquet River, Belledune, NB, Canada

8 hours and thirty minutes ''



Day Twelve (Wednesday):

Jacquet River, Belledune, NB, Canada to Baddeck, with a stop in Summerside Prince Edward Island

8 hours and thirty minutes ''



Day Thirteen (Thursday): 

Baddeck Cabot Trail 

2 hours '' 

Baddeck to Fundy Bay

5 hours and thirty minutes ''

If I was to stay a day in Fundy Bay, I would have to skip Sunday at the 
event. That make Fundy Bay on Friday and no Church Sunday.



Day Fourteen (Friday)

Fundy Bay?



Day Fifteen (Saturday)

Fundy Bay to Lancaster, New Hampshire, via dropping south from Saint Stephan to the coast and through Bangor, Maine

8 hours and thirty minutes ''
Walk to Vermont and back to cross that off.



Day Sixteen (Sunday)

Lancaster, New Hampshire to Boston

2 hours and 45 minutes ''



Not sure how this day will go as:
dinner invitation hour outside Boston

invitation and desire to go to Rhode Island. '' only an 
hour, so mean three to go back for dinner and find a place to sleep. 
Apparently there is several auto accessible campgrounds within close 
proximity to Boston! 



So, could look like this:

Lawrence, New Hampshire to U.S.S. Constitution

U.S.S. Constitution to Rhode Island 

Rhode Island to dinner
dinner to Boston



Day Seventeen (Monday)

Boston down to New Canaan.

2 hours and 45 minutes ''



New Canaan to Castle Garden

1 hour ''



Castle Garden to Philly

2 hours ''



Have lunch with Jack and Phil and see Independence Hall.



Independence hall to a Delaware campground

2 hours '' 



Day Eighteen (Tuesday)

Now getting really uncharted.



invitation to Baltimore.

Delaware to Baltimore 

2 hours ''

There is  several campgrounds along the way though West Virginia, so that makes it easier than the coast.

It then be four days to home. There might have to be places eliminated, but most of the time is spent driving with a dog and trying to be safe. Not stopping in a city and seeing gobs of places, just the top ten or so across the Northeast. I really don't think I will ever make it back and like to take a trip and process the changes that are happening. 



As I am saying, work in progress for you all to have a look at. For all I know I could be gone in the morning; only have the present but doesn't mean can't dream a future! So far, I
 wouldn't have gotten this far without you alls help.


Thank you so 
very much!
