Southern California to Georgia in the Fall

What you failed to mention is if you want to be on the mile-a-minute interstates or if you want to be on the more relaxed US highways. Then there is the combination of both that you could take. What sights do you want to see along the way? All those states that you will be passing thru have online state tourism websites. Perhaps you need to visit a few of them. My goddaughter was telling me just the other day about the places they will stop and visit on their way back east. Did you know the Alamo was free? They will stop and see it. The it's down to Corpus to see the Lex and the beach (she has really missed the beach from when she was staying down there). Over to Houston on the roads near the beaches to see some big amusement park/Aquarium/garden type thing there and then onto I-10 for a little while before getting back on the beach front highways. They plan on staying in parking lots, "first night free" city/county parks, and use Passport America discount for private campgrounds every few nights. I looked at the route they were planning on taking (and they still plan on adding some more places to see) and the are wandering all over the lower parts of the states they are traveling thru. Very little straight shots from one place to another. Most of the sights they are wanting to see are either free to low cost or they have found "bundles" to lower the costs and add more places to see. They are doing this on a budget too. The internet is a wonderful thing for stuff like this.
