preparing

so we're planning a trip out west to see the national parks in south dakota, montana, wyoming, idaho, utah, and colorado and i'm using this blog to document each day of the trip (hopefully i'll be able to access it each night)

• the original plan was to fly into denver and then rent a car out there, but this soon changed to us driving out there in the truck, and then most recently there was the addition of the 37ft 5th wheel trailer for our journey
  

• on our way out to south dakota (our first destination) we plan on stopping in cleveland (for the rock & roll hall of fame), cedar point (to ride the coasters), chicago

• the badlands, mt. rushmore, yellowstone, bryce canyon, zion...are some of the parks we'll be visiting
