It has long been a fallacy that going south will avoid ice and snow. Sad to say, our most southern east-west interstates, both I-10 and I-8, see some ice and snow. But the road crews in those areas...

In bad weather, usually the interstates are given first treatment. Then US Highways and state highways. Our commerce must get through. The interstates are also the last ones closed, for the same...

Since chains are obviously a "no-no" with rental cars, there are a few other options:

* If it's snowing/sleeting, get off the road and hole-up somewhere and wait it out until the road crews can do...

Actually eastbound from Moab on I-70 is a slower upgrade in most places than the westbound. The worst part of eastbound is the downgrade just before Denver. They have signs reminding truckers to use...

Welcome to RTA!

I don't believe chains should be necessary. If you are on the road, and the highways get bad, you should get off the road, get a motel room and stay put for a day, no matter which...

Southern Arizona and New Mexico come to mind - Yuma has the Colorado River (and slightly north, Lake Havasu) and some very interesting history. A few miles east, there is Organ Pipe National Monument...

Dave mentioned the best parts of old 66, so I won't do that. Much of the rest of the old 66 is under I-40 pavement, or it's labeled "Historic 66" or "(State route)-66".

It's your trip, but if...

SWDave is quite right - the Yellowstone area books quickly and finding something on the fly each day would be next-to-impossible. Gardiner on the north entrance, West Yellowstone on the west...

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.
