This is a real good reason to be running with:
A - a dedicated navigator (person)
B - a navigation package with GPS (SA or S&T)

If you have any of the navigator packages (Much less cost than a tank of fuel), you can go to the Discovery owner's site and download overlays for all kinds of stuff. The Nav Pac will show you where you should start looking for a place to overnight and the available places that you (you and the navigator) can select. You can also enter fuel stops and it will tell you where to start looking again.

You remind me of a friend of mine that had a trailer and she could not go camping unless every single day was planned out in advance and they knew exactly where they were going to stay every night. I told her a story of my first motorhome trip where we started in the middle of California and I didn't decide until we got to the freeway whether we were heading north or south for a week. Right at the freeway onramp we decided to head south and next thing we knew we ended up in Arizona. It just drove her crazy to think I went out for a week and had no idea where we were going or where we would stay until we got there.
