2 Months to wander the country... where would you go?

I'm not confident enough to drive around the south w/ my minority butt, but there's some rich history there to witness.

Prob also places where history won't let go, but that's part of the adventure.

Who wants a lapdance...in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!?!

 

Hmm, I don't have any particular recommendations, but maybe pick a theme of something to do on the trip, and let that guide you. Like visiting a bunch of baseball stadiums in an area. Or eating all the different types of barbecue in the South. Or going to see a bunch of different natural wonders in the West. Or climb a variety of peaks in the Rockies. Whatever tickles you.

You set a goal to do this backbone of things, but everything in between is up to you. So, you've got some goals to keep you oriented and also plenty of leeway to experience those things you'd never be able to plan for as you go from place to place. Make sure you've got a camera and extra batteries for it, because you'll take a lot of pics.

This, it's hot as **** out here mayne.


If you're staying in the mainland, gotta go for the Rocky's or the west coastline.

 

No offense but this is garbage. Have some self-respect OP, treat yourself to a Starbucks parking lot. Way more classy.

 

Crying won't help you....

Crying won't do you no good.

 

My parents did Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Dakotas several years ago said it was great

 

Go explore the deep parts of Mexico.. see how long you last

 

Make sure to check the latest cell coverage maps before you go. Coverage can be very spotty in the mountain west.

 

Low humidity on the west coast

 

If it were me, I'd start in Yellowstone, head up to Glacier National Park, then on to Banff, down to Vancouver/Seattle, follow the Pacific coast south, inland to Portland, back to the coast, down to San Francisco, over to Yosemite and down through Sequoia National Park and end in Vegas. Other than Las Vegas, I've seen none of that. Not sure 2 months would be enough to do it right.

 

I second this. Getting up to the Pacific NW is great.

 

Probably the most important tip here.

Weekends to move around ..more populated during week for work.

I would consider hawaii but that means no van.

Wait are you that guy in the van down by the river?
