DemMarineVet has an excellent, recommended diary on the MAF caravan tour.
It occurred to me that if anyone wanted to know where they would be setting up temporary roosts, so that you might have a chance to participate as DemMarineVet did, it would be helpful to have their itinerary handy.
I copied current, pertinent information below, so you wouldn't have to visit the website. I wasn't sure if this information was available anywhere else, or if there are already Dem websites organizing counter protests against them. If so, my apologies for the repeat.
So, if you're in their neck of the woods, consider it a FYI diary.
Last, but not least, even if you can't attend, do check your local papers for coverage.
