Fuel prices....I use Gas Buddy app all the time, here locally and when we travel. Hubby and I don't mind driving an extra mile or two for a significant savings. Several times on our trip, we went a...

We have had runaway inflation here in the USA for the past 2 years. It started with the fuel price, which of course affects all the prices of goods since we rely on trucks to bring us goods.

It's...

When my husband and I are in the process of actually planning a trip, I start the planning on paper. Yes, like AZBuck, that's how we planned in the days before Internet! I also now create bookmarks...

The camping forum thread that SWDave linked goes to the US Highways. It might help if we knew you want to be close to US-2, US-61, etc.

The vast majority of dispersed camping sites are in state...

I would add a couple of thoughts to what AZBuck said about Amish Country:

When driving, be ever-vigilant, as most Amish do not drive cars. They use horse-and-buggy. Pass with care and DO NOT honk,...

We have an entire forum dedicated to public camping opportunities. That means state and national parks, state and national forests, and some city and county parks. Though our national parks have a...

My husband and I have been to both rims of the Grand Canyon, within the past 6 years. If we had to choose one or the other, it would probably be the North Rim. Why? It's not so dang crowded!

Dropping down to I-10 isn't necessarily going to avoid bad weather. It really depends on where the storm is, and where it's headed. My folks had to stop in western Texas on I-10 one spring, in Van...

...it duped again, even though I was using Go Advanced. So I went to Edit Post on the dupe, took off all typing, and removed the post. I think.

Sorry, another thing that I wasn't aware of, that I'm supposed to be giving things a title.

So if it's me, I'm going to assume that it's some issue that will eventually work itself out. Maybe...

Trying Reply to Thread and Quick Reply, but on Safari.

Now I am on Safari. Frankly, first issue trying to bring up RTA on Safari was one similar to the one I get periodically from Chrome: it tells me that it can't find the server. Finally went through...

Sorry, Mark, I was unaware that I was supposed to be using Go Advanced. I do that when I'm posting road trip reports, but not as a general rule.

Will try Safari.

Replying to GLC's query. That's how I normally respond, though have been known to use Reply to Thread or Reply then Go Advanced.

I am trying Reply at the bottom of GLC's post and then Go Advanced....

Obviously, same thing. Sigh. I think I will leave the "reply to Thread" button alone.

It duped again, over in the LA to Nashville thread. (Sigh.) I clicked on Quick Reply, but had exactly the same issue as before.

I will click on"Post Quick Reply" here and see what happens.

Westbound I-70 out of Denver IS a problem because of the climb. However, eastbound, you begin the climb more gradually until you come out of Rifle heading towards the Eisenhower Tunnel and Vail Pass....

Upping to AAA Plus, or even Premier, is probably a great idea. When you get to your new state, you can go to a AAA office in your new state and get it transferred to them, usually complimentary. Then...

Like others above, I agree on the route. This is a moving trip, and usually that's not a good time for any sightseeing except out of the car windows. Also, one of our two road trip vehicles is a 24...

Using the RTA booking service is just one of many options that one has for reserving hotel rooms. So I wouldn't say, don't use it, just be aware when you book a room (in any way) of the terms and...

Booking ahead or not is always a personal decision. Pros and cons of both have been pointed out. My husband and I have had the experience of booking ahead and then not being able to get there for one...

Summary of Trip: Food

We ate really well on this trip, choosing more local places than chains. On the few occasions we did chains, we chose the ones we don't get to "do" very often. Among some of...

And So We Head Home...

After Vicksburg, we knew we had to go home. We had some obligations already scheduled. Our route home was to backtrack on I-20 East to I-220, the belt loop around Jackson,...
