Default Trip Wizard and our trip from FL to UT

The program was fairly straight forward and in three days. The plain was to drive up the interstate of I-75, to I-10 West until AZ and then turn up to Salt Lake City, UT. All-in-all about 2300 miles. But the Hills were concerning to my wife and using MSNMAPS.com as well as MapsGoogle.com where I could drop down and checkout a roadway.

But thinking I was all set; I spoke with some friends at a BBQ who do a lot of Bicycle Camping and trips like CA to Washington D.C. He told me they use the website (( flattestroute.com )) I entered my two points and the route jumped from Tampa, Fl up I-75 North up into TN, Nasville, Il then St. Louis, MO, into Kansas up to I-80 into Nebraska and the highways speed jumped up to 75-MPH on I-80 west into WY where the speed jumped to 80-MPH. all with lots of fuel stops, places to grab a bit or two. right into UT and a few miles less than 2300-MILES.

Returned to my Trip Wizard and made the necessary adjustments in record time showing more stops. We drove about 500 miles per day all in five days. While on the trip I spoke to a fellow RV'er and he shared a wonderful website called "RVPARKY.com" after 40 years of camping I love this website as you can use it for Canada or Mexico as well as the USA, but best of all it shows each RV PARKS Amenities which is most helpful when worrying about your RV's limitation. But I love Trip Wizard, and strongly suggest anyone in an RV hitting the roadways to learn how it works as it has a sample you can try out first.

But where every you go, be safe and enjoy the roadway adventures waiting for you. ON THE WAY BACK WE turned down South in Laramy, WY to Denver on 287 a two lane but after driving highways was a welcomed change and once into CO WOW loved the rocks and landscapes. Once East of Denver, CO with a heavy rain and snow starting up above 6000 feet. We turned East onto I-70 and turned South down to Wichita, KS lots of rain the whole way and crazy winds on out Class B Coachmen MB 3500XD handled them all very well and ran like a well-made clock. We also found our loved Starbucks once inside AK, TN GA and oh yes Florida. Loved the trip and time we had visiting our two newest Great Granddaughters Sophiea and Alice.
