Monday, August 15, we start our on our ~5,000 mile road trip. We plan to be gone for three weeks, returning on (or about) September 6. The overall route is shown below.

Manhattan, KS (reliving memories)Within the Glacier National Park, we have mapped out a day trip as shown:
We have arranged for Christy to take care of the canary and check in on the pond fish while we are gone. We have also installed a pond level control valve which should hold the pond level constant while we are gone. We have never completely resolved the leakage. We procured four 14-day fish feeder blocks and will put two of them in before we leave, letting Christy check them while we are gone.
