Official Blog Launch

---

Welcome to the Ultimate Road Trip travel blog launch. I will be working on this over the next few weeks so that it will be ready to rock when we are.

I have been planning this trip using forums, tourism sites and many library books. The following are links that will be useful to those planning their own adventure.

TravelBlog
Fodors Information from those who have been there, great books.
National Parks Service Information on Grand Canyon, Canyon de Chelly and Yosemite
Recreation.gov Reserve your place under the stars.
TheDirtyLoad.com Might need this one after camping...
AAA Very helpful guidebooks and directions.

Update:


3/29/09 - We have tested the camp stove and tent. They both seem to be in working condition although the tent needs some attention after its last use at the Pig Roast.
3/30/09 - I received payment confirmation for our whitewater rafting trip on the Merced River, just outside of Yosemite park.

In the event that we don't return from our Grand Canyon hike here are our photos for 'Missing Persons'.

You go girl. This is one hell of an adventure. I am jealous, and love that you are doing this. Thank you Pete for taking her and protecting her on your wonderful voyage. By the way, the joke and the two pictures made me LOL. From Culver's old and once adventurous Uncle. T

Now that you are

Quote of the Day
"BEFORE ELVIS,THERE WAS NOTHING" John Lennon,1970. Now that youve read your free USA Today beside the Guitar Shaped Pool ! you'll probably go to the Zoo and watch the Snake Feeding at 1:15 !! Kid you not. That was a long long drive yesterday so relax and watch the free Elvis movies at your hotel 24/7 !

What a trip! Guess you're in Yosmite and have lived thru white water rafting. Hope you wore your water wings. Thanx for sharing the trip with us. It's been great.
