Let's Go on a Road Trip!

Mapped-Out Road Trip from myscenicdrive.com

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am amidst planning my cross-country road trip after I graduate! The plan is to leave May 20th and take about a month to travel in the mapped-out loop shown above. Over Easter weekend, I Googled cross country trip planner and came across an amazing site called myscenicdrive.com. This site allows you to easily create your road trip plan. It even calculates the total cost of gas, as well as lists nearby hotels and campgrounds near your destination points. I have found this site very useful and would recommend it to anyone trying to plan a cross-country road trip or just a within state drive. Check it out!
