Get ready, here we come!
One trip a year is always planned for my brother Alan who is 46 and has Down's Syndrome. He's a great guy to be around and has always been able to recite the capital city for any state (and most countries) that you throw his way. I can't remember a time when he didn't carry a flag around with him, and it has to have a "point" on it.
So, as we did this year by making a circuitous loop through OK, KS, MO, and AR, we're making plans for next year about June 1st after Memorial Day weekend. I've gathered up as much as I can from the posts here (especially those of the famous Red Rock Country man DL Rupper.) The requirement is that we have to tour each state's capitol building. That is by Alan's request, because he's like the rest of us and has some kind of fixation that won't let him go! :laugh:
Anyway, here is the link to my Google planning map. I hope you can offer me some suggestions on the routes that I have chosen (for one reason or another.)
Also, I hope this shows you something about routing on Google's map. You click and double-click on the map and details that I have drawn to zoom in or out or get more details. It really works well, and the routing tells the mileage of the route. (I'm still a little leary of the real-world accuracy, but its a good planning tool.)
Most people have an up or down vote on it. I hate Google, but I'm still going to use their map.
