jumbo turkey traveling down the highway at sixty-five miles per hour
Day 1: Olympia -> Glacier national park.
Day 2: Glacier park, then to Yellowstone (late at night probably). I hope all of Montana's beauty can be seen with this plan... the original plan was to cut straight across Montana and North Dakota, but with my current plan I'll only get to see western Montana and South, not North Dakota. If Google Earth is to be trusted, then this is no great loss, as much of that area is farmland anyway (but there's prettiness surrounding the farmland!).
Day 3: Yellowstone and Wyoming, then maybe start driving towards South Dakota since it's a long drive.
Day 4: To South Dakota! Maybe I'll get to see a cave (and Devil's Tower, depending on how much I care) by day's end, but if not, there's always tomorrow.
Day 5: Caves! And possibly contemplating politicians carved into mountains. Head a little further east tonight to sleep in the badlands! Under the darkest/starriest night sky I will ever have seen in my life! (well, except maybe Ecuador, which doesn't count since that was on a different planet)
Day 6: Badlands! So amazing! Might start heading east tonight.
Day 7: Driving to the Dr. Evermore Metal Sculpture Park in Wisconsin. Depending on my progress I'll get to see it either this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
Day 8: Chicago!
Day 9: Chicago!
Day 10: Ok ok, I'll leave Chicago. Tonight I'll be sleeping in either Pennsylvania or my own bed at home, late at night.
Day 11: Home again, home again, jiggity jig! (Only a grandmother's rhyme can adequately express the quality of the enthusiasm. This enthusiasm mostly stems from "a bed and a shower, woohoo!")
I should only have to spend three or four nights in a hostel using this plan, camping out the rest, which is good, since camping is free and hostels are cheap.
Also, as you can see, I decided not to go to California. California is like a woman undressing in the room next to me when I am 15 years old and handcuffed to a chair.
