Driving Plan
Stop Order
Schertz Public Library -> Garden Ridge Library -> Encino Library -> Eisenhower Park -> Igo Library -> Cody Library -> Johnston Library -> Landa Library -> Roots In the City -> Confluence Park -> Mission Library -> Little Red House Kaiser -> Little Red House Rustic Forest -> Little Red House Gemini.
Timing
Expect an all-day run: roughly 4 to 5 hours of driving before parking, checking seed stock, photos, breaks, and sorting. A two-day split is easier: north/west stops first, then central/south/east stops. If Apple Maps drops intermediate stops, add them manually from the stop order.
