We are planning to give you daily trip reports whilst we are in the USA! After each day in the parks, we intend to produce a daily trip report, and then upload the report over a couple of pints. Most bar's have free Wi-Fi connectivity in the USA, and that is where we seem to end up every night! It will be evening time for us when we do this (and we're 5/6 hours behind the UK), so you should hopefully have a new trip report to read each morning for the duration of our trip.
On occasions (as was experienced in 2009), it may not be possible to get the trip reports up every day. This can be due to operational reasons such as Dave losing his USB stick, or laptops having flat batteries, or anything like that, however as each year goes by, we learn the problems and can plan to mitigate them, so fingers crossed for trouble free trip reports!
The following route map and table shows our trip itinery and all the parks we will be visiting during the USA 2011 "Shake, Rattler & Roll" Tour. Click the red trip report button for a full report and photo's of the day's events when they become available after each day of the trip. (Subject to Wi-fi connectivity in the bar!!)
