I have a vague recollection that someone on here did this last year, an east to west through the northern states.
We've been musing about doing something like this, maybe this summer, but more likely it's something we need to plan and save up holiday time for.
I have a vague notion that the trip was planned by the persons father or father in law.
Our intended time would be July/August, due to school, so considerations of temperature and the things we most want to see mean that vaguely following the I-90 corridor is what we want to do. If it goes well, I could imagine we'll be wanting to do other areas in future.
Anyway, to whoever it was, I'd really value any input you can give!
To everyone else, I'd love to hear suggests of what you think is a must see, over the years I've heard so many things that piqued my interest, but weren't sufficiently big or well known that I can recall details. My very beginning list is below.
Start in Boston, possibly start with a couple of days their before picking up an RV - this is subject to change, as I get more detail I may decide it's more feasible to start closer to the Great Lakes.
Niagara falls and other things to do with the Great Lakes - I've always wanted to see them, but I don't really know any specific things to see or do.
Maybe swing north around Lake Michigan - or are there any car ferries across it.
I have a vague notion about seeing Milwaukee, but I'm not sure why.
See some of the "Little House on the Praire" locations in Wisconsin.
Then it's a bit of a blank between there and Mount Rushmore.
Yellowstone national park, definitely Old Faithful.
Possible end it their and drive home (Seattle), as eastern Washington and northern Idaho (if there is anything to see there...) could be a separate shorter trip from home.
Thanks Anne
