Project Assumptions

This project assumes that an Uber driver will be available. According to the Glacier National
Park website, during the summer months, there is a surge of Uber drivers, but to assume
longer wait times due to the rural nature of the Kalispel town closest to the park. 
Project Constraints

We will be bound in grocery options to what is available at the local grocery store. There will
be down time for the women from Cincinnati, while they wait 2 hours for the arrival of the
women from Phoenix.
