Extension

After three weeks the official part of the study tour ends, but Kryptos offers the possibility to extend the trip for a fixed number of weeks. Dirkjan, Geert, Daniël and I decided to extend for another three weeks and travel as a group.

"Best of the west"

The route we want to cover during theses three weeks is designated by most of the study tour participants as the "best of the west" and several groups will cover it. The "best of the west" route covers all major attractions in the west of the United States as you can see in the map below.
