So Im finally starting to plan out my self-proclaimed graduation gift- my cross country roadtrip. This is still a ways off, but how long can it take to plan out over 5,000 miles of roadtrip? exactly! I'm not up to date on what there is out there, and how to get there. I want to avoid toll roads best I can, except through some areas of the BFE to make some time. The places I know for sure I want to get to-
-Grand Teton national park
-Grand canyon
-Boneyard in arizona(well, a lot in Arizona- Tucson, grand canyon.)
-pacific coast highway
-few days in LA. My aunt lives in the 'burbs, so Ill spend 4-5 days there alone.
What would you all reccommend? Im already planning on 3-4 weeks at least out there, so time is no issue! I'll be calling in favors to family, friends, distant cousins, for nights on a couch or a shower so I can spend more time out there by spending less on hotels. Guess I'll be a bum for a month!
Oh, and transportation- Mustang most likely wont be making this. not much storage, extra tanks of Methonal would take up space, staggared tires in odd sizes (good luck finding a 315mm tire in the boonies). Current frontrunner? The 66 Thunderbird, with some modern rubber, updated radio, and Ive been looking at some of those EZ-EFI 'carburetors'. hm...
