I’d be remiss if I didn’t post that today is the 10th anniversary of Diablo II‘s release. What an amazing game, one that is still going strong a decade later. I’m really looking forward to Diablo III’s release sometime in the next couple of years. Until then I tide myself over by listening to the superb Matt Uelman soundtrack at least once a month or so.

Western USA Trip July 2010 Map
This is the first of many (hopefully!) posts about our trip to the Western USA this July 2010. We’re all very excited about the two weeks we’ll be spending out there. The route itself is about thirty-nine hours but considering we did thirty-six on our trip to Saint Louis in only one week in March 2009 this should be cake (says the person that mostly navigates, not drives). We’ll be covering at least 2,100 miles. Without further ado, the map of our journey:
We’ll be staying one night in Denver, CO (J on the map, was also an A but since we ended there too the J won), one in Alliance, NE (B), three in Hill City, SD (C), one in Cody, WY (D), five in West Yellowstone, MT (E), one in Idaho Falls, ID (F), one in Ogden, UT (G), one in Vernal, UT (H), one in Steamboat Springs, CO (I), and finally a final one in Denver, CO (J) where we started. Whew! This map can also be seen interactively at this MapQuest link.
Along the way we hope to see:
- Scotts Bluff National Monument, NE
- Carhenge in Alliance, NE
- Mount Rushmore, SD
- Badlands National Park, SD
- Deadwood, SD
- Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, SD
- Devils Tower National Monument, WY
- Yellowstone National Park, WY
- Grand Teton National Park, WY
- Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, ID
- Dinosaur National Monument, UT/CO
- Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
I’m sure some will fall by the wayside and we’ll discover others we’d rather visit but that is the plan so far. More to come!
