A day-by-day summary with notes is provided in the following pages. The format of the daily summary is:

·         Start/Stop locations

·         Mileage per my mapping program

·         Weather conditions

·         States both USA and Canada that we were in during this day

·         Highways that were used. I listed them in sequence so you could find them on the map. In some cases this is the only way to really track our trip because most mapping programs will use a much different route. We selected these routes based on what we wanted to see or where we wanted to be for the next day’s ride.

·         Notes have been added to provide more detail to the day’s events.
