Could very well be clear along most of the track. I'm just more in favor of
the drier climate and wide open spaces of the intermountain west, and
particularly on the lee side of the rockies in general. That includes far
western Nebraska.


Sort of like our strategy of going to the east side of the Cascades in
1979.

The centerline also passes through the south end of Jackson Lake, and I bet
the Tetons would make a spectacular backdrop.


No kidding. There should be lots of good backdrops available through a
great deal of the track but that could be the best. I think it's time for
us to plan a little scouting trip. There's less than 10 years left!
