Welcome to the RTA Forum!

We'd certainly enjoy hearing more about your trip than just a list of cities or states. You're also certainly welcome to share some of your pictures here, we just can't allow you to post links to other websites until you've established yourself here first.

I do have to point out for future reference that sleeping in rest areas is an extremely dangerous idea, and staying random parking lots or "the middle of nowhere" also has the potential for some unpleasant problems. We're glad things worked out for you this time, but you may not be so lucky next time.
