I'd still be up for it myself. I'm not sure if it exists yet or not. The talk just kind of stopped. Now would be the time to start trying to make plans for next year.
My suggestion is no Interstates. I know that it's not really practical for this type of thing, but I hate taking the Interstate and try to avoid it if at all possible. That's just the way that I am. I'm also more in favor of the Yellowstone idea than someplace in the Great Plains. I live here in the Great Plains, so something different is more attractive to me.Suggest known good places to stay along the route if you know of any. Help plan the route, find a destination etc. I'd suggest doing an I-40 route. Fewer metro areas to get clogged up in. Have a meet up in Oklahoma. Just throwing ideas out there.
Naturally, although I didn't say it, I was talking about out here where I live. No offense, but I wasn't planning to end up on the East Coast. I feel that you can see much more by taking the back roads than the Interstates here in the flat lands. One example is taking Hwy. 2 in Nebraska. It goes through the Sand Hills. That is an area of sand dunes that are left over from an ancient sea. They still look like sand dunes, but they have grass covering them.I like the idea of no interstates and out where the country is flatter and more open I can see it being feasible. Where I live it would take all day at an average speed of 30 mph pulling a trailer just to reach the state line because other than the Interstate the roads are too hilly and winding to make any kind of reasonable time.
There needs to be some level of efficiency or it becomes all about the drive and not so much about the camping and experiencing things along the way.
I have to say making the shirts for this would be a lot more fun heehee but probably NSFW

I'm the same way except maybe worse. I seem to like to punish my body on longer trips. # or 4 hours of sleep in a couple of days seems to be kind of typical for me. Since I live in the Plains, 500 miles seems like a kind of short drive, but that's just me.I'm a bit of a road warrior. I'll do a 12 hour day and think nothing of it. I realize many people would hate that.
Sounds good to me so far. I'm not sure if I'd stay the whole 4 or 5 days at the central location. It just kind of depends on what else I have going on at that point.Thoughts? Opinions?
