Travel Details

You should have your google map completed (route marked), making sure that you pass through at least 15 states and 8 state capitols (they don't need to be one of your days to count).

We will be finding out more details about each city that you will be visiting and verifying that each location is less than 550 miles apart!!

You need to find the following details about each location in a document:

  • Miles
  • Travel Time
  • Total Miles
  • Population
  • Elevation
  • Temperature

Sample Outline

Starting Point: Los Angeles, CA (any West Coast City)

Day 1: Las Vegas, NV (each day will have a different city)

  • Miles:
  • Travel Time:
  • Total Miles:
  • Population:
  • Elevation:
  • Temperature:
Day 2-9 the same details as Day 1.

Day 9: Washington D.C. (everyone will have the same Day 9)

Hints:
  1. Use google maps to find the miles (from the day before to the end point) & travel time.
  2. Use google keyword search to find population, elevation and temperature.
  3. Total miles refers to how many mile you have traveled the whole trip to that point (hint: add up all the miles you've traveled so far).
