Time Zone Changes
So, I thought I'd make a list of all of the time zone changes I'll go through on this trip. (I have to reset the camera clocks, etc.)
This map shows the time zones I'll be dealing with. Pretty good overview at a 50,000 foot level of North, Central, and South America.
Let's assume that this is roughly the route I'll take.
Time Zone Changes:
0) First of all, I'll start out on Sunday November 12th in MST in Colorado. Colorado, Utah, and Arizona will all be in the same time zone (MST) at this point.
1) On the way to the Los Angeles basin, I will set the clocks back 1 hour (gain 1 hour) when I cross into PST which will happen when I cross into either California or Nevada. (Arizona does't do Daylight Savings Time, so AZ will be in MST when I cross into AZ).
2) I will set the clocks ahead 1 hour (lose 1 hour) when I change from PST back to MST when I cross from Baja California del Norte(PST) to Baja California del Sur(MST) just outside of Guerro Negro, Mexico, BCS.
3) I will stay in MST when I catch the ferry from Pichilingue, BCS to Mazatlan, Sinaloa.
4) I will set clocks ahead 1 hour (lose 1 hour) when I change from MST to CST when I cross from the Mexican state of Nayarit to Jalisco just before I get to Puerto Vallarta..
5) This will be my last time zone change until I get to Panama. The rest of the countries I will go through in Central America will all be in CST. (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, & Costa Rica.)
6) When I cross into Panama, I will set the clocks ahead 1 hour (lose one hour) and I'll be in EST(UTC−05:00). The time zone will be the same for Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
7) When I cross into Bolivia and Paraguay, I will lose one more hour as they are both UTC-04:00.
8). When I cross into Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, they will be UTC-3:00. Lose another hour.
9) When I go into Chile, I lose another hour UTC-04:00.

Then, South America looks like this.
