changing plans

    So we have updated our trip ---- thanks to some suggestions from our very road experienced friend Donald.  Depending on road conditions, we are going to venture out on the Burr Trail that connects an obscure point, Boulder, Utah, with Bull Frog, Utah,  via a ferry across Lake Powell.  In the course of this slight detour, we will get to drive through more of Capitol Reef and other incredible landscapes.   We will also be including the Muley Point Overlook which is supposed to be an Ansel Adams top pick for natural beauty (see above).

   Our other change is that we are extending our visit to Detroit and Rosie and JR by a day and eliminating Montreal and Toronto.  We weren't going to be spending much more then dinner time in those Canadian cities anyway, which would surely not do them justice, so in order to arrive earlier in Detroit, we are going to head from Portland, Maine to Ithaca, NY --- hopefully with a drive-by visit with some old friends, Arthur (brother of Donald) and Beth -- and then on to Detroit, gaining a night.  We will still visit Niagara Falls (one of my trip must-sees, but hopefully no barreling over the falls) but from the USA side, instead of the Canadian.  This way we will arrive in time to help prep for the gala wedding party in motor city.

    Who's going to take care of the dog? Who's going to watch the kids? Oh, that's right, isn't it great not to have to worry about any of that???? I look forward to traveling and eating vicariously across the country with you. Wish i could figure out how to get it to appear on my Google home page!!

    You may want to pop across to the Canadian side, all the same. It won't take that much longer, and the view from that side is more impressive.

    I appreciate the reroute on my account, though : )
