The Schedule

We’d like to be back in the first week of August. We have 28 days to get to the Oregon Country Fair near Eugene, and we’ll probably spend about a week in that area, so we’ll plan for 15 days to get back.

The following list is how we’ve pencilled in our itinerary. For each day in sequence, we list the place we hope to sleep at the end of the day, with highlights of the day listed in parentheses. Days that are blank represent a “slack” day or an extra day enjoying a particular place.

01 NE Nebraska
02 SW Nebraska (North Platte? Ogalla?)
03 Boulder
04 Nederland
05 Caribou

Of course, we can plan the plan, but we can’t plan the outcome. On the other hand, we’ll have a much better outcome if we have a plan.
