Least favorite long drive: Rapid City to Joplin

Honestly, that stretch from Rapid City down to Joplin was one of my least favorite drives. I took the central Nebraska route since it was the shortest, but man, it was brutal. Just miles and miles of flat fields, the same view on repeat, and barely anything interesting to break...

Quick Oregon loop that worked for me.

If you’re pairing Crater Lake with the redwoods, I’d do a tidy loop: SF to Ashland for a night, early run to Crater Lake, then drop to Umpqua Hot Springs and Toketee Falls. Cut over to the coast and crawl the Samuel H. Boardman corridor and Harris Beach near Brookings. On the...

Solo travel paranoia hit me hard this week

I’m on a solo road trip with my dog, day 6 of 12. I’ve traveled solo plenty in cities, but this is my first time doing remote cabins. Yesterday I slipped up and told an older guy I met that I was traveling alone and what car I was driving. Totally normal interaction, but...

Cross-country with my dad and I can’t stop grinning

We’re rolling from South Carolina to California and I’m buzzing the whole way. Same goofy pose in every pic, new scenery every hour, dumb jokes at gas stations, random diners, and a surprise detour to see family. This is the kind of trip you remember forever.

Roadtripped all the way to Alaska just to dunk in the Arctic Ocean

61 days, nearly 10,000 miles, and more gas stops than I care to count — all for the moment I stuck my head in the Arctic Ocean. Didn’t even swim, just a quick dunk, but still worth it. Along the way: 10 national parks, 9 ferry crossings, a new windshield, and more wildlife...

Best road trip I’ve done, small towns with big charm

Last summer I set out for a small-town road trip, avoiding interstates and big cities, and it turned out to be one of my favorite travel experiences. I wandered through places like Yellow Springs (OH), Winona Lake (IN), and even made it down parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Each...

Driving Chicago–Myrtle Beach saved us $1,200 over flights news-gazette.com

Scrapped the flights for spring break after seeing United at $329 a head. With 4 kids, that’s $1,240 saved just by driving the minivan. Gas for the 1,600 miles comes to about $165, and I even found a cheap one-way rental deal if we don’t want to use our own car. Breaking up the...

Christmas Road Trip on I-95 – should we flip the route to avoid traffic?

We’re landing at EWR on Christmas Day and planning a road trip down I-95 to SW Florida, stopping in D.C. and Savannah. But I didn’t realize how brutal post-Christmas traffic is, especially on the 26th and 27th. Add four jetlagged kids to the mix and sitting on a clogged...

3 weeks. 8 people. 2 cars. It actually worked

Love this. Big loop vibes with tight PTO and you still packed in Black Hills, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, Redwoods, Yosemite, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, plus the chilly Oregon and NorCal coast. Under 8k miles and roughly 2k on gas split eight ways sounds about right. Seeing...

Rattlesnake encounters on wyoming backroads what i learned firsthand oilcity.news

While road-tripping between Pathfinder Reservoir and Medicine Bow recently, I had a surprise standoff with a pair of rattlesnakes basking right on the asphalt. It gave me flashbacks to a piece I’d read in Oil City News about how rattlers can wander miles from their dens. At...
