The Itinerary

Here's a condensed summary of the itinerary for my 20 day road trip, with the planned lodging in parenthesis.  Allen Kolko is going to be joining me for the first 12 days before flying out of Denver.  Then I'll be solo riding for about 5 days before meeting up with Tom and Mark for a weekend in Vegas.  Just using the cities I'm sleeping in as endpoints, Google Maps estimates the trip at 3,819 miles and around 70 hours of driving.  When all is said and done, I should easily clear 4,000 miles on the trip. I just hope the Civic is up for it.
