I agree! My wife has Cricut so she's going to work something up.
I do appreciate that, I'm just trying to quantify what I'm up against.
Have a great, and safe time sir.
I’d suggest skipping Nola unless you have your v@cks
Well done finding one of the handful of actually pretty places in Illinois.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 Oak Island SC
6/26 Waycross 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
Completely by accident lol. It just happened to land right in my drive time cutoff window.
I'll have to pull up my notes but I think it was just a well situated and cheap camp site.
I will +1 the others that mentioned the difference in humidity down here on the Gulf Coast. It's not the temp that you should be concerned with, its the humidity. In the 1990's, as a much thinner college student, I camped in Key Largo in August. NEVER AGAIN. Even after showering with cold water at night, I was sweating before I could dry off and get dressed, and I grew up in S GA. Needless to say, after getting nearly no sleep that night, a box fan was immediately purchased the following day.
As someone who RVs for work, everything is now booked out months in advance. When I was working in Huntsville, AL last year, popular places like Guntersville reservoir were booked out into June when I was inquiring in early March. I imagine things are worse now. Certainly takes some spontaneity out of things...
Mmm, small enclosed trailer, destroying the latrine in the middle of the night, humid conditions, road food. May I suggest an ensuite (quick pitch brand)?Added a couple essentials to the camper, both just short enough to fit. Let's not get them mixed up in the middle of the night.
