Hello people! Welcome to the blog for Alicia and my upcoming road trip. We leave in exactly 2 months (61 days, 39 student days, 42 school days). We'll be traveling the country beginning on June 15th in my 2008 Ford Escape. We will be gone until July 20th, will visit somewhere around 25 states, and will likely put between 9 & 10K miles on my car. We'll be hitting many of the major National Parks, Going to the High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy, California, and visiting Portland, San Francisico, and Las Vegas (we realized last year we preferred camping to cities). Other places and things will seen done as well.
Last year we took a two week trip through the southeast. We stayed with some of Alicia's friends in Dallas for a week before seeing more of Texas by camping for a couple of days at Lake Whitney, visiting Austin, staying with a friend in Houston. We then went to New Orleans, Big Lagoon State Park near Penscacola, Florida, and then finally a night in Asheville with my cousin Angela before returning home.
Below is a map of our planned route (in green) and last year's route (blue). We'll be heading Northwest to begin and coming home via Virgina Beach, Virginia.
Alicia and I will hopefully update the blog in the two months leading up to the trip and will definitely do some writing and sharing of picture during our journey. If you've gone on a road trip or around America we'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
Will.
Will, your trip sounds like it will be a blast. Make sure you post pictures of all the neat places so I can pick some for my trip also. I will leave for Baton Rouge on Monday for about five days or so. We will stop at lots of places like New Orleans and Vicksburg (I am a Civil War buff). Also early in July we will begin our trip to Yellowstone. We will be following you out that way. We may even Make it to Glacier NP.
