Route Planning

We are currently route planning our honeymoon I am using a mixture of Google Maps and traditional paper maps. These routes will be used while we are driving around the States.

Arches National Park

We ended up visiting Moab and Arches National Park during the yearly Jeep Safari! This meant that there were hundreds of different customised Jeeps everywhere we looked. It did make me think that somewhere there could be a Citroen Safari somewhere in France and I could show my love of all things Citroen off to the French. Anyway I digress, back to the matter in hand.
