Thought I'd get a thought going... This is what I had in mind for my first long haul 3 month get the heck outta cold country (winter) ... it was mostly successful though weather can be persnickety. I'd love to see/hear different ideas from folks as to routes that would wander the west (mostly) but this land was made for you and me so the whole country can be included... and our pals to the north too!
