which way

[Ziphead2]

We are planning to put the house up for sale in June and hopefully go on the road right after. Our goal is to travel for about a year and move to a house in the Carolinas after that. My question is/any recommendations on where to cross the Mississippi river to go out west. We are still working on places to go and things to see. Any ideas are always welcome/thanks

In the spring Tom Sawyer RV park is indeed "right in the river." :B

Take secondary/backroads as much as possible and see the country.....Interstates are for weekenders/vacationers.

I have crossed it in Itasca state park, kinda nice there.

Begin around first of October slowly go I-95 south; I-20 west; beginning around April-May slowly go I-5 north; June-July begin I-80 east. Make zig-zag loops right and left from each Interstate Highway.

First decide where you want to stay during the winter? Texas? Florida? Arizona?

Once you establish that, meander that way, taking your time, from July to October or November.
