Dick and Thomas traveled to Utah and Colorado in August 2000 to tour dinosaur sites. They returned to the west in June - July 2003 to do so again, this time touring Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota by car. They visited museums in all those states and toured a dig site in Wyoming.
Dick put together an itinerary that takes 12 days and got them back in Kansas City by July 2. By using Yahoo! maps, he also made an estimate of distance and travel time for each leg.
When completed, the trip took 11 days and 3 hours. They traveled over 2900 miles. Dick took 830 photos which reduced here to 242 images on 38 web pages.
