Straight line, its only Miles:2435.66 Kilometers:3919.71
but, I'm flying through ATL to get to California, then driving out to Utah.

Costa Rica -> ATL
Miles:1597.39 Kilometers:2570.68
ATL -> SFO
Miles:2134.02 Kilometers:3434.28
Palo Alto -> Moab
Miles:688.98 Kilometers:1108.78
which adds up to around 4,400 miles. All of those are straight line, not actual path traveled.

Yowza. Makes me tired just thinking about it.

The RV sites do, and a lot of people set up tents in them. I don't think that the tent specific sites do.

Yep, Fallon, 0800. Pulled out the 2nd on the house for fuel, am ready to go!

That strap is kind of cute.

So $4.99 a US gallon. That sucks. I'm sure we'll be closing in on that early this summer. (Some places in the US are probably there and more right now)

IRRC, extra dinner tickets are available at the registration table. Is this true?

if there are any available, yes. because of the size of the bar m, dinners are limited to a certain amount of people.

Question for all you mountain folk… Should I pack the tire chains or is it safe to go without that extra weight? Never been though there this time of year so I just don’t want to be unprepared. Thanks.
