Thanks for this information. 330 miles at 7 hours driving helps our perspective. I found a free calculator website that calculates driving time with average speed, time zones, etc. Typically, in car road trips we leave between 3 -4 am, which the kids can sleep. Seems to be that a 8.5 hour car drive will turn into a 12.5 hour rv drive with a few stops for gas and at an average of 50 mph. We were thinking about driving as many hours as possible on the way out with just 2 sightseeing stops and sleeping stops until we got to the CO/AZ area.

Ltook over this map, stops might or might not work but they give you an idea.

So that's how you do 1,650 miles to Colorado in 3.5 days so with 3.5 days back you now have 9 Great Days in the West/Rockies.


Best of luck,

3.5 + 3.5 =7 7+9=16 That is more than 2 weeks. Did I miss something?

Must have;

Leave Friday after work (1) Sat-Sun-Mon-Tues-Wed-Thur-Fri(8)-Sat-Sun -Mon-Tues-Wed-Thur-Fri-(15)Sat-Sun-(16.5-17):S

Some people will count Friday as a full day but I usually only count it as 1/2 day so actually 16.5:W

If we use your math 7 days = a week and 4 weeks = a month then we would have 13 months ? Right 52/4=13 :S

So does that mean those extra 28 days don't count?:?

Now I'm Confused :@

Think it must be the New Math.
