@Mary Beth, please define “the Northwest” for me. We next want to make our way West to BC, then south through Washington and Oregon into California, then over to Phoenix and make sure we get to see New Mexico next time. We had to blast through it in a day in order to make a seminar date in San Antonio.

I get a kick out of the “Mid West” which is so far east, it’s silly. What is the North West US exactly lol?

Thanks for so much useful information. I’m leaving in two weeks for a cross-country trip and will hit some of those you’ve written about. I see you did not include the Northwest US but if you plan that trip let me know, I live here and know it well. MBR

FYI for all Young Snowbirds readers: Road Trip calendars for 2011 are now available on my site. I had so many images and requests to have them that I have created a calendar of some of my favorites from the road. You can see all the images in the calendar and order one here http://www.youngsnowbirds.com/miscellaneous/road-trip-2011-calendars/

Thanks for the comment Sara. The New Orleans post you saw here at the moment, is the first day of a weeks worth of photography. There should be at least 4 more posts on New Orleans.

I’ll let Dar answer the photo questions.

and thanks on the “good luck getting caught up” (ha!)

Wow. Came across an article you did in Good Sam’s Highways of Sea Breeze and one thing led to another, I’ve now spent an hour reading your site

I’m traveling the US myself trying to hit all 50 states in 2 years, so will be checking back for insights to some of the places you stayed as they’re geographically on my list as well.

In the meantime – can I just say that I LOVE your photography? I’d like to say its because I’m from New Orleans and was smitten with some favorite personal memories, but the truth is that your variety of techniques are just so darn cool…like the fire truck (the first one head on is my fave but the paint by lights was so friggin cool). Is it all in the techniques, or do you have mac daddy equipment too? I always wonder what’s possible for the layman. In any case, I hadn’t seen anything about whether or not you have a website where you sell your photos. I can see you have them watermarked (wise) so maybe I just missed it somewhere.

Just curious, thx and good luck getting all caught up!

Dar is quite the researcher. When we first began our trip, she would plan out all the details about where we’d be camping for 3 or 4 days ahead. She looks at Good Sam parks, Passport America parks and then reads the reviews from other campers on the RVparksreview.com before finalizing her decisions.

Towards the end of our trip, 120+ days in a row, we still do the same thing, but are much quicker at it and dont do it quite so far ahead anymore. Our plans kept changing every few days based on circumstance.

As we drove up the East coast, friends began offering us a campsite on their property for a few days at a time, so that was great too.

Dar will be writing a post about how we choose rv campsites in the future.

Thanks for asking.

We plan our longer stays ahead of time and the days we just need a one night stop over just fly by the seat of our pants, or do a Walmart thing. We use http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ a lot to check on reviews of a park, as well as the Good Sam rating.

What a travel log. Did you stop at random or planned your stop sites? Reserved ahead of time or what? Thanks.
