A brand new route plan

Decided to not drive all the way back, to avoid driving through the same places I usually drive over the weekends. Instead, planning on finishing my road trip in Houston and fly back from there.

The tentative route plan as of now is as follows:

• Fly to San Jose on Wednesday July 11 from BWI
  
• Meet up with friends in the Bay area
• Start on the road-trip over the July 14-15 week-end.
• Yosemite NP
• Kings Canyon, Sequoia and Death Valley NP
• Salt Lake City
• Yellowstone NP
• Helena & Glacier NP in Montana
• Mount Rushmore, Wind cave NP & Jewel Cave National monument, Badlands NP
• Drive down Mississippi starting from Minneapolis-St Paul
  
• Green Bay
• Chicago
  
• St. Louis, Memphis, Nashville
• The big easy : New Orleans
  
• Dallas
• Houston. Fly out of Houston on Aug 12th Morning

- Confirmed.
- Definite to-do; but no fixed schedule.
- Tentative; to-do if time permits

The plan is likely to change over time!
