Hello all. . .Wife & I will be driving our TOAD mid October to pick up our new-to-us used Class A RV;

we will be hoping to make the drive in short order & the returning a bit more slowly in the new rig. . .

Visual sights without much stopping headed East is what we are looking for Hwy 50 - 70 - 64?. . .

Hopefully the “Toad” is a good driver – That will be a drive but as you indicate point “A” to “B” so the interstates are the best option – avoid the rush hour traffic in the cities and plan/call ahead to find a motel when driving – we moved out and back to Colorado a few years back (Long story – 7 trips in 4 months) and it is so much easier to drive the Coach and find a place to stay than getting a room, so you need to call ahead around 2 or so to be sure you can get a room where you will be stopping.

Headed back to the Left Coast, a little more slowly, we are thinking on Hwy 5 - 40 - 84?. . .

This part will be more fun –I’d start out by heading down the Blue Ridge Parkway – leaves should be at a once in a lifetime colors so you can cross it off your Bucket List. And the drive on I-40 through Tennessee and Arkansas will be perfect also. This time of year is perfect if you are into exploring a little not too hot ant some of the best weather of the year. Lots of interesting History to explore and with all the Lakes fun places to stay in the Coach.

IF you have experience we would appreciate your thoughts. . .

I-40 and Oklahoma are historically not one of my routes – it only took once to bounce my fillings out and I have sworn to never drive it again…… but others have loved it.

Don't want to stay on the road too long as will want to probably fix the RV up to our likings & then the Holidaze will be here. .

Because you are going to need to head back up to Rt 50 to get back home look at heading up in Arizonia I would put these places into my GPS;

Window Rock – Capital of the Navajo/Navaho nation
Chinle – Canyon de Chelly NM
Monument Valley
Mexican Hat
Moab – Arches - Canyonlands – Rt 128
Goblins, SP

.Thanks in advance. . .!!!!
We have a small TOAD & we are gonna load it up with "stuff" we feel will be essential for the return trip & will stay in the RV;

Just remember Wall*Mart they will have whatever you need.:-)

on the way to VA, motels will be it for the night. . .
