Planning a Route

During our mini-geography unit, I want to do something applicable to the real world. There will be a point in your life when you will need to plan a trip, so why not start practicing? To learn about some physical features, cities, countries, continents, directions, and maps, we are going to plan out a route throughout a continent. You will be assigned a continent and must choose your starting location, what vehicle you will drive and where you will make stops along the way. You must travel at least 2,000 miles, so you have plenty of distance to cover. To help you with this, you will use the travel log I have made for you, along with the Internet (google maps, bing maps, mapquest, etc.)
