My trip planing is a lot different than most on here.
My first cross country trip was as single 21 year old on military order from central Ill. to southern Ca. Travel time was 5 days at 300 a day. I was on leave so I could make it longer if I wanted to. I looked at an Atlas to find a general route(most direct) and headed out.
Route 66 was my chosen road. If I saw a road sign of an interesting sight I went to it. Even had time for the Grand Canyon. I made it with time to spare. Granted it was by car not an rv, but I basically do the same now with the rv.
Back in '02 we had to go to the Black Hills and the DW ask how we were going. I said turning right of the driveway, Turning right at US-50(2miles), turning right in Colorado on to US-385 north into the Black Hills. This was a two week vacation trip. We came home via I-90,I-29,I-80,I-74,I-70,I-65,US-50. But I realize not everyone is like me and do things thier own way which is just fine.
I took a quick glance at the latest from GS route planning and it looked very interesting. Might have to look at it some more for a summer '14 trip of unknown length, maybe 3 months. Enjoy your trip.
