Hi all, im new here. Me and 2 friends are taking a 8,500 mile rt trip this summer and were doing it more or less as quick as we can. we figure about 6 days total driving time, meaning 144 hours in the car. Ready for the shocker? were gonna try and do it in about 3.5 weeks, and were going as cheep as we can, stayin mostly at koas, relitves, or youth hostiles. Any suggestions? The reason for the trip is to see the country and relax, so we have a general idea of where we wanna be when and how long itll take us from place to place but not how long well stay at each place. Were traveling from Rochester/Buffalo NY to Mt Rushmore& badlands, denver, san francisco, vegas, new orleans florida, dc, nyc, boston and back. There are more stops in there but those are the biggies, would love any advice. thanx all
