Robert,
I asked for your input about a week ago when I brought this up.
Somewhere a long time ago, you mentioned a morning tour of Mesa Verde,
at least I thought you did. Then we were going to overnight in Kayenta.
I talked to my Northern AZ contact who said that hotels in Kayenta are
pretty bad and it's better just to head to Page. That made for a long
day, so what you have planned is better and may give us time for a side
trip to Monument Valley.
Bob, does that fit in the schedule?
I didn't think there was any lodging around Mesa Verde NP. If there is
let me know what it is so we can arrange the hand-off. I'll take over
the Arizona segment the morning of April 29.
Thanks,
Mark

THIS IS THE SCHEDULE AS OF LAST NOVEMBER 11:

How does this keep getting un-changed?
I am all in favor of an Austin-for-Dallas switch; what is the
status of this?

Bob,
I was looking at the itinerary and I still don't think
you have it exactly right.
April 28 Wednesday Gunnison CO to Mesa Verde
National Park CO 3 hour park tour
April 29 Thursday Mesa Verde National Park CO to
Keyenta (should be Page)
April 30 Friday Kayenta (should be Page)
to Williams, AZ
The hand-off between CO and AZ will be at Mesa Verde NP
at noon on 4/29. Robert will be handling the Mesa Verde stuff, but I'll
take over from there and we drive past Kayenta, to Page, AZ for the
night.

Makes good sense to me (having not yet checked timing
etc. though) ... how long a days drive might it be for the long day
through Oklahoma etc?

Hijacking Texas
Working backwards from Mark's dates, combined with slow
travel through the
mountains, and a total lack of expressed interest in
Texas, Oklahoma, and
Kansas, impels me to suggest the following route
changes:
Combine the two days allocated for driving the 308 miles
from Oklahoma City
to Garden City into one. A lot of driving, but nothing
at all to stop and
do along the way. Perhaps change Garden City to Dodge
City, as well (adding
53 miles). This would cut the next day's travel to
Denver/Golden (again
through a zero-interest area) from 454 miles to 401
miles, and even out the
driving.
Move the free day originally allocated to Dallas/Ft.
Worth back three
nights, making it in Denver/Golden. This would change
the the driving
schedule from 6 days - rest - 14 days - rest to 9 days -
rest - 10 days -
rest. Those who did not wish to spend so much time
driving each day would
then be able to catch up.
I feel it better to get this section over with rather
than drag it out at
the expense of more interesting terrain.
Reactions/comments?
Proposed Schedule Revision:
April 21 Houston - Dallas/Ft. Worth
April 22 Dallas/Ft. Worth - Oklahoma City
April 23 Oklahoma City - Garden City
April 24 Garden City - Denver/Golden
April 25 Denver/Golden - Denver/Golden (flex day /
local sightseeing)
April 26 Denver/Golden - Gunnison
April 27 Gunnison - Durango
April 28 Durango - Mesa Verde (MVNP tour day)
April 29 Mesa Verde - Page (side trip to Monument
Valley?)
April 30 Page - Williams
