16 National Parks in 16 days!!!

Well we are a couple of hours from hitting the road for our attempt to cover 16 National Parks in 16 days. Trevor and Wayne are going to hit the frog and toad, whilst Vanessa and Mack spend 2 and a bit weeks with Maxine and Larry trying not to spend our Disneyworld spending money!!! (only kidding honey!!). Mack's 3rd birthday yesterday was a blast with the Little Einsteins themed dinner at Nana's getting a hiding. She was spoiled rotten and deserved every little bit of it.

Trev and Wayne are heading firstly for the Grand Canyon where we've booked a camping spot for tonight. Made the mistake of waiting until about 8 weeks ago to try and find accom in the parks for August....what a joke!! So a borrowed tent from a work colleague of Maxine's and a trip to the Super WalMart for the $15 twin airbeds (x2) and the $9.88 sleeping bags, along with the $5.88 electric lanterns, a bootload of bottled water and pretzels , and the open road beckons!!

From there, we hit Monument Valley, Canyonlands, Arches, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, North Cascades, Mt Rainier, Olympic, Crater Lake, Lassen Volcanic, Yosemite, Bryce, Zion, Grand Staircase Escalante before winging our way back to Vegas. Add in a few other scenic stops aplong the way depending on time and we could possibly reach 16 in 16!!

Will keep you updated......
