Hey Guys,

I really appreciate the itinerary Blake.

I just spent an hour on MapQuest to better get a handle on distances and time for all these stops. I think some of this might be a bit ambitious if we want to stop much longer than a half hour in each place. That may be too long in some locations, but not in others.

I think that Day 1 has way too much driving to accomplish all the meals, stops, dunking, shopping etc., but I do admit I am not totally familiar with the area. Also, none of these include DEEB's side trip to Jasper (which I think would be cool too).

I have detailed driving instructions and maps that MapQuest provides and I can forward them to anyone who wants them, but here is a very abbreviated summary. The times/distances after a location are calculated to the next location. The last line each day is the total drive time/distance for the day.
