Here, ladies and gents and peasants, is the Grand Master Itinerary, which I followed while traversing the land of opportunity that is the USA. It is in four leaves, because I was originally intending to follow a cloverleaf pattern; however, the leaves became rather deformed and now it’s definitely a mutant clover, if it’s a clover at all. But I retain the Leaf terminology because it’s fun.

I reserve the right to change any part of this schedule, keeping in mind that I have already actually completed it. But I promise not to change anything like the name of a city. (I don’t have that much influence anyway.)
