jch82 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I am envious of you being able to take that much time off. My work doesn't allow me take more than 8 days off at a time, so I am limited to week long trips...My best advice would be to just pick the destinations that you think you can reach comfortably and don't worry about the mileage or get caught up in the exact route or places you are going to stay. I always pick the destination and then leave the actual route to chance.One of the most memorable times was a trip taken to Phoenix and we were heading towards Denver on the highway and also towards a real nasty storm. My buddy and I turned south on a two lane road to get around the storm and it ended up being the best part of the trip. This was one of those last minute decisions that really made the whole trip worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinking of heading west leaving from the OR deals gap trap....In general, where ya wanna go? Myself and a few others are going to Colorado and Utah July 11-28, you're welcome to tag along if ya want.I'll also do another cross country trip, probably in September, no real destination yet.Just think of someplace you'd like to go to or see and then plan a route. I'd be happy to help you out with any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I was thinking Cali as the "goal." I need to make sure of my time frame but hoping I can have 3 weeks.

I have a tentative route planned without any specific roads included. Ill PM it to you...A heads up...there's a lot of fairly new pavement on highway 1 from the Golden Gate up to Leggett.Great views,twisty roads...but can be busy.Much better on weekdays and the farther you get away from S.F.
