Colin’s Itinerary
Colin Skinner’s 2009 Planned Route (New York, NY to Minot, ND)
This is the itinerary Colin mapped out for himself before leaving the United Kingdom in August, 2009. He adheres fairly closely to it, but to verify his location, email him at colin@nationalhospicefoundation.org.
In November, 2010, Colin plans to return to the U.S. to resume his walk. That leg of the journey will take him from Minot, ND to San Francisco, CA (ending in March 2011).
