Bicycle route

A common question is what route I plan to take on my trip.

I'm starting in Davis, California to see the Moore's and heading north to Seattle, Washington, to see my sister. From there, I'm proceeding on a "reverse Lewis and Clark" route from Washington state to southern Illinois (with detours to see friends in Colorado). I'm then going to see my maternal grandfather's home town, Mount Carmel, Illinois. From there I'm heading north to Wisconsin to see friends and coworkers, take ferry to Michigan to see assorted family and friends, and then back to New York.
