While summer traveling, normally we "go" a day, then 'stay home" a day. Not interested in big cities, and we are both 60+, so some of the more strenuous outdoor activities hurt.
Suggestions welcome.
Why not take a different approach and make your stops a week, with 2-3 days of travel in between. Take 101 up the coast from LA to the top of the State of Washington. Spend a week somewhere between Santa Barbara and San Jose, drive your rig NORTH over the Golden Gate Bridge (really is easy to do, especially on a Sunday) spend a week in Sonoma Valley, a week in Eureka, a week at Winchester Bay in Oregon, a week in Newport, a week in Astoria, a week in Port Angeles, at least a week south of Seattle (Mt. Rainier and Mt. Saint Helens), a week north of Seattle, drive Highway 20 over the North Cascades Park (open only in Summer), spend a week in Lake Chelan, stop and see Grand Coulee Dam and the light show at night, , pick up Highway 2 and go across the top of the country, spend a week in the Glacier National Park area, follow part of the Lewis & Clark trail in Montana and the Dakotas. And on and on.
