Planning for CPE Nationals 2024


In times of stress and change I plan trips. So, I got my CPE Nationals road trip all planned out and hotels booked. Ready for May 2024!

Leave for Springfield, IL on May 10th and return home on May 26th. I made some shorter chunks this time so we can hike in Utah or make some longer stops along the way. I also learned that we just don't do well with those close to 8 hour driving days. Trapper needs to get out all the time and Sparky and I need to play.
