Western Trip Plan
Summer - 2004

Here's a map with the full proposed itinerary, just to give an overview of the whole trip.

I created this overview map using www.aeroplanner.com (need a membership, but it's free with EAA membership). Aeroplanner is GREAT, if a little slow.

I created the individual maps on the linked pages using AOPA's "Real Time Flight Planner" (need a membership in AOPA to use). This has the potential to be a nice tool, but you can only store five routes at the moment, and it's pretty damn buggy.
