Waiting for the Trailer and Mapping out the Route

We were supposed to pick up the travel trailer today. Given that we had 9 inches of heavy snow on  Wednesday, we decided there was no way we could shovel out an area for it and the other vehicles!   So we decided to postpone until next week.   Hopefully, it will get warm enough this week to melt some of the snow.

Since we weren't tied up for 5 hours learning about the trailer, we decided to map the route out in the  Atlas.   What great fun that is - to actually see in more detail exactly where we will be going. 

Of course, Vincent has taken a completely different approach that clearly demonstrates the new technology approach and prowess of the younger generation.  He downloaded the map to his phone and is able to zoom into street level for the precise route we will be using.  He's working on turning these into cue sheets for the ride since there is no way I will be able to use the cue sheets we got from Adventure Cycling while we are biking. Just another reason why it would have been easier to do this 20 years ago.  Of course, I wouldn't have had the pleasure of having my son join me, nor as much time and resource at my disposal.
