OK so if we head EAST instead, I am thinking the following.
Option 1:
Chicago IL
Kentucky Bourbon areas KY
Nashville TN
Charleston SC
Jacksonville FL
Tallahassee FL
New Orleans LA
Memphis TN
St Louis MO
Chicago IL
That is 7 stops @ 2800 miles. Average 300 miles a day traveling. Not sure if NO is our thing when camping? I imagine this is the warmest route.
This sounds like a good option, except I'd hit Jekyll Island, GA instead of Jacksonville, FL. It will only add about 75 miles to your Tallahassee leg. There's a lot more nature and history on Jekyll Island than there is in Jacksonville. Jacksonville is a nice city and there are some nice campgrounds nearby, but scenery wise, Jekyll Island wins hands down. That time of year it will be pretty quiet.
