Our Cross Country Road Trip

Starting on April 3, 2011, Debbie, Kyle, Tucker and I will set off on a 74-day 8300 mile USA road trip in our 1990 26' Tioga Class C RV towing our Honda CRV. The plan, devised over the past couple of years, will be to head over to Seattle (from Spokane, WA), down through California, into Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, up the east coast of Georgia and S. Carolina, the back west through N. Carolina, Tennesee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, S. Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. We will camp at 32 different locations, visit 7 National Parks, and stay 7 nights at Fort Wilderness campground at Disney World. We also look forward to seeing our kids and families in Seattle, Burney, Morgan Hill and Lake Arrowhead, CA, and good friends in Eugene, Or, and Bodega Bay, CA, and Gardiner, MT.
The average trip length will be 4.6 hours and 260 miles/day between stops. Stops will range from one night to seven, but most are 2 or 3 nights. The darned gas situation isn't helping with fuel costs, but nevertheless, we'll use about 1000 gallons on the trip.
My plan is to post regular reports and photos in this blog to keep people informed about what we're doing each day, what we've seen and anything else interesting that's happening.

Here is the route we're taking.
