Cross Country from Seattle

We took the trip from Seattle to Georgia a couple of years back before the Thanksgiving timeframe. We used the Good Sam trip planner and had campgrounds set up to call each day. If they didn’t have availability when we called we got on the internet and called others or kept driving until we found one. You can make pretty good time going across middle America as there was little traffic except inconsiderate truckers. We didn’t go the I90 route as the weather predictions were not good so we dropped down through Oregon, Idaho, the tip of Utah and across Wyoming. The biggest issue we had was waking up to 6 inches of snow in Utah where we couldn’t get the slides in as the snow compacted when we tried to bring in the slide. I was on a ladder pushing off the snow while the wife was bringing in the slide a couple of inches at a time. We got out of there and then sat in Wyoming for 3 hours as truckers had jackknifed across both lanes, both directions shutting down the highway. Once we got out of there it was pretty uneventful driving. Make sure you map out your fuel stops, if driving straight through, as there are sometimes no fueling opportunities for hours of driving.

Good luck and hope all goes well!
