Thought it might be useful for some of you to see where our stops have been for the first 2 weeks of August. In looking at it I realized we did cover some distance in that time - never realized it until I just saw it after finishing the map! When you are just planning your trips day by day you see them in short hops rather than the longer overall distance.

Figured this also gives me an opportunity to post a few more photos from each of the stops along the way. It definitely wasn't a country a day type trip, but we did cover some "ground" but enjoyed the stops we did make. The journey continues!
