East-to-West Coast roundtrip, poor teenagers, $4000 total, 22 days: Doable

[Mark Sedenquist]

I'm still unsure on the fuel budget, it may have to increase by another $100/person. Fuel will definitely be our major expense.

For most adventures, food costs tend to outweigh fuel expenses -- you can use our Fuel Cost Calculator to nail this down a little.

Otherwise, even allowing for your very stringent budgets you might come close to pulling this off... unless you break your truck at the Moab event --that sure does sound like fun!
