Chet, interesting loop for sure.
However, we are planning to go south from Tenn to the Gulf coast to dink around down there, and then skirt Louisiana/Arkansas back up towards Oklahoma. Going northeast isn't on our radar for this trip. Although we'd have the time and be on that side of the country, we are not looking to log miles to just log miles. We are looking to log memories and for some reason the south is calling us. I'm sure I could kill many days in the south even in the heat and humidity. The new Coleman Polar Cub should be here this week. :C
I'm considering building a covered lockable box for the front of the Yak-a-Haul-it for the Honda 20000, so I can run the AC in the camper while rolling down the back roads. Camper will be ready for occupants at any time.
In future trips, we will be interested in seeing New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine etc...
