We did 6 months on the road Nov 2015-May 2016. 16 states and 6000 miles, down the east coast to central FL then around the Gulf coast to Galveston, north through Shreveport and Texarkana, then more north to OK and I-40 back east to Missouri and home through IL,KY,WV and PA.

Good
- We discovered the 'Forgotten Coast' in the panhandle of Florida. Next time south we'll spend more time there.
- People in the south are much nicer than people in the northeast.
- Falling Water- a Frank Lloyd Wright design in PA. Hard to believe that something that cool came out of a person's head.
- Although it was an ambitious first long trip, we discovered that we really do like to travel and life in a tiny house was not as confining as we thought.
Bad
- W.Palm Beach area. Very congested. Spent a lot of time waiting for the left turn signal. Lots of aggressive drivers.
- Mississippi Gulf coast was depressing. I guess it's because everything gets wiped out regularly by hurricanes.
- The condition of the roads in the country and specifically in the northeast is terrible. I wonder where our fuel taxes are going because it's certainly not being spent on roads.
