The trip itself won't start for another 4 months but something of this magnitude requires some forethought. My wife, kid, and I will be touring 25 states between 6/17 and 7/4. Yes, some cheating is involved, like cutting through tips of some states or visiting Four Corners.

This journal will be a place to gather thoughts, get feedback on gear, and schedule meets with B6Gers.

My Bronco and our newly acquired Coleman Colorado pop up will relied on for this trip. The Bronco should still be relatively stock still and the camper has been upgraded with custom frame, Timbren independent axles, 31" tires, and Lock N Roll hitch.

Nightly stops have been plotted and somewhat set in stone (edited to reflect some suggestions) and are as follows:

6/17 Gallatin MT
6/18 Castle Gardens WY
6/19 Lewellen NE
6/20 Atchison KS
6/21 Pomona Il
6/22 To Nashville TN
6/23 Windrock TN
6/24 Uwharrie NC
6/25 Dillon SC
6/26 Savannah GA
6/27 Summerdale AL
6/28 New Orleans LA
6/29 Genoa AR
6/30 Memphis TX
7/1 Albuquerque NM
7/2 Moab UT
7/3 Boise ID

Ah, yes, Memphis,TX. Home of the Cyclones... I only know this because I pass through there at least twice a year heading to Colorado and they are SUPER proud of their high school football program 😂

This trip sounds so cool, I'm kind of jealous...

like the looks of the popup,you should brag it up.
I love the thing but I can't claim any of the upgrades - yet. I drove 6 hours to get it because this kind of thing doesn't pop up every day. The inside is spartan and I'm looking to add foam mattress toppers and a cassette toilet, plus add tow vehicle battery charging and possibly a 12v fridge/cooler. It has a 66ah AGM battery now but that really doesn't go very far.

Hah! I know nothing about the town but it's on the way home and apparently has a pretty nice free camp site.

One day in Moab?
I would love for it to be more but time is tight. Moab deserves a dedicated trip of it's own.

That is a lot of cities. Is this an urban camping experience?
It's a little of everything. My wife wants to see some of the big cities and I want to see the country.

Make sure you service the trailer bearings and have some spares if needed. I usually have a set of bearings pre-greased and ready to go along with a BFH, drift to pound out the races and a proper tool for the axle nut. Cheap insurance that I've never needed.

Good tip, thanks.
