Smith Trip 2026: The Plan

Everyone knows that once I (Tracy) start something I find it hard to rest until it’s finished… little did I know that our Canada/USA map on the trailer door would dictate our travel plans for the next few years!

Our plan on this trip is to fill in the south eastern part of the map but we only have 17 days to do it!

The Route:

We plan on leaving May 29th and returning on June 14th. We will be missing our family, friends and soccer but will be home in time for all the graduations and end of year celebrations!
