ADT JOURNAL: CHAPTER 8
Abbreviated ADT Schedule for Delaware to St. Louis. Dates shown are estimated places to spend the night on that date. We will stop only at maildrops listed in text, which are indented, generally at the end of each state. Days off are indicated by multiple dates at a given place. These are for planning purposes only. If weather is good, we ride and take day off later in bad weather.
Mileages shown are cumulative West to East and East to West respectively. At end of each state is ADT total to that point.
To send mail to us, address as follows:
