Our Favorite RV Outfitter now does trip planning for cars!

[Mark Sedenquist]

I didn't know that Dan and Mary's company did road trip planning for car trippers -- but they do and if you're looking for a one-stop consultancy approach to planning road trips -- Tracks & Trails is probably the best in the USA!

(Edit: The trip planning services for car road trips seems to have been phased out sometime since 2010. But the RV trip planning is still a capable and useful app.)

I received an email from the founder of Tracks & Trails this morning and he now runs the business from a boat where he and his wife are doing a a 6000-mile circumnavigation of the eastern US and Canada called America’s Great Loop.

More about this amazing roadtrip-like boat adventure.

Here is a map that shows this route (you can scroll to the map and use the interactive features on the site.)

As with our land-based travels, we think smaller is better. Most "Loopers" make the trip in big, slow, comfortable boats that mosey along at a leisurely 7-9 mph. Our boat is just 26' long and is easily towed behind our pickup truck, which also has a camper in its bed, allowing us to mix & match our excursions. It's very similar to a campervan or pickup camper -- definitely more camping than glamping, which amuses and confuses many traditional Loopers we meet. :-) We even have a rooftop tent on top of the boat to accommodate guests. It’s an overland rig that floats.
