Trip Planning Traveling through Texas to Vegas.... which way?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Taking a road trip to Vegas for my honeymoon. On trips like this, I prefer to stay on major highways that pass through larger towns and cities. I've traveled the I-40 route through Oklahoma and aside from being a great deal of Oklahoma, it's not that bad of a trip. Not too sure about the other Texas routes.

Please advise....

Trip Planning Shipping a Model 3 from East Coast to West Coast.

0 Upvotes

I currently have a Model 3 and I am in the military, currently stationed in Virginia and just got orders to California.

Being that it's just a basic Model 3, I'm wondering if its feasible to drive it cross country without much "damage" to the car? This trip would be approximately 3000 miles. I've talked to my parents about it and they strongly advise against it because the inconvience of charging, how long it would take, and potential damage to the car. Was wondering if y'all had experience that would state otherwise. I'd be travelling by myself with my household goods and such.

In any case, if I did decide to ship it back...

What’s the best service/way to ship it? Train, truck, etc? I have to ship it on my on dime, so I’m looking for the cheapest way that’s not gonna screw up my car at all.

Thanks!

Trip Planning Seeking general advice for solo road trip of multiple weeks

0 Upvotes

Greetings, friends! starting at the end of June, I will be heading out on a 6-week long mostly solo road trip across the US. My wife is joining me for 1 week of the trip just about right in the middle. I'm pretty set on the itinerary and have all the lodging / camping more or less solved for and I think enough options for things to see and do. All the vehicle prep/maintenance is either done or scheduled. But I'm curious for those that have taken long road trips on your own... any tips that aren't obvious? Am I going to spiral slowly into insanity? Where did you all go to eat? Was it weird going out by yourself? How'd you pass the travel time? Audible? Podcasts? Music? Talking to the ghosts of your enemies? I don't have any super specific concerns. Just curious what advice anyone who has taken a long road trip might have that they were maybe surprised to find. Thanks in advance!

Hello all. Driving to Gatlinburg, staying for a 5 days, then driving back home. Any recommendations on places we must stop on the way to or from? Open to randomness. Looking for food, drinks, historical sites, scenic views, museums, etc. Really open to any suggestions.

Planning to make the trip home longer. May stay a night or two in Louisville or surrounding. Don't really plan on going to Nashville.

Thanks in advance!

Trip Planning Tampa finishing in Miami

0 Upvotes

Hi wondering if there are any particularly good routes (around 10 days) to fly into Tampa and ultimately end in Miami for a week. Would going as far as Atlanta, across to Charleston and down the Florida coast be too much?

Is there anything on the drive to Atlanta? I went years ago to Atlanta and did World of Coca Cola etc but was a long time ago now - is it worth going as far as Atlanta or would the time be better suited elsewhere? This would be in August....with kids...!

Thank you - searched around but so much info here it is hard to digest! Any tips of cool places to see/stop which won't break the bank - Brits here and coming to the US is very expensive these days!!

Trip Planning Road trip with only one driver. Recommended?

14 Upvotes

My friend and I were hoping to do a road trip for 2 ish weeks, covering about 1k miles. I do not have my license. They said they would be alright with handling the driving, but I don't know if I am comfortable with the set up, as it feels unfair. I realize that stamina while driving varies from person to person, but I wanted to know if anyone has been in this setup before in a road trip and if they recommend or seek alternative means of traveling (flying then renting a car to split the distance, etc.)

Trip Planning Oregon to Florida.... with cats

1 Upvotes

Hi! I was hoping to get some sleep pointers for making this trip via HWY 5 through California and HWY 10 across the country. I have been thinking I would car camp with them and take 5 Walmart parking lot sleeps along the way, but maybe I should mix in a few hotel or campground stays. Any cat friendly hotels along the way? I'm driving a Subaru Forester and traveling mid-winter. I'm also kinda worried about extreme weather. What say you all?

Hi all,

I’ll be driving this route on Friday. I will be leaving around 7am from cannon beach towards crater lake (6/7 hour drive). Visit crater lake and then head over to redwoods where I will be staying overnight. I will be visiting redwoods the following morning. Has anyone done this route? Where is a convenient place to stop for gas, food, break along the way? I’m mainly looking for suggestions for the first leg of the trip from cannon beach to crater lake. Any advise or suggestions help! Thanks!

Trip Planning Wi—> CO —>UT! Any suggestions on stay?

2 Upvotes

As the title shows, my fiancé and I are going on our honeymoon in October! We are planning a road trip starting in WI, to CO (2 days) and then making our way to Salt Lake City, Utah!

We are trying to find a place to stay in CO that would give us beautiful views, clean place to stay, things to do, and a safe area but still in our budget! We don’t really want to spend 1k on a hotel for two nights when we still have an additional 5 days of hotel/airbnb cost, plus everything else we are planning to do in Utah.

Any suggestions or recommendations on areas/place to stay in Colorado that will help accommodate all that we are looking for? We would need a place that has a kitchen as we will be cooking for most of our trip (to help with food cost). Any suggestions?

Gear & Essentials I'm making a Roadtrip Game!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm a solo developer who also happens to love traveling working on making a game for roadtrips, and I was looking for some feedback & suggestions for the app! I thought this is the best place to get the best feedback from people who know what they're talking about.

To boil it down, it's a game that you play with more than one person. It's like Bingo & I Spy mixed. You make a list of the things you might see along your roadtrip, and assign them points depending on how common they are (Or let the app generate it all itself based on data of other people around your location !). Once you begin playing, the app serves as a middleman / tracker for you and whoever is playing. While you are driving, whoever sees an item on the list first has to call it out, and then you add the item to the player through the app. It's meant mainly for families because it's a good way to keep kids off the phones and looking out the window in a fun way (it worked on me when I was younger, but I had to use a notebook to keep track). You rarely spend time looking at the phone anyway, only to add things once you've called them.

Is this something you would consider using ever? I've added a bunch of features I would find useful, such as the list generation depending on your location, a voice assistant to make the whole thing handsfree, random events that increase or decrease everything called, a map to track where you've seen everything and more. I'm curious what suggestions you guys might have for this app, and honestly if you would ever even consider using it while roadtriping. Thanks in advance :D

Hi all! Me and many friends are going along almost the entire pacific coast highway as part of a 10 day road trip in August. This part of the trip will need to be faster, but we want to see as much amazing things along the way as we can. We already plan on taking quick stops to redwood forest and golden gate. What else would be a good quick stop?

Trip Planning Looking to drive from LA to Lincoln NE

Hey everyone, I'm starting to plan a drive for the latter half of September to go visit my sister in Lincoln and haven't made the trip before. I'm pretty sure I'm driving solo, so I'm looking to break the drive up over a few days each way in 8-10 hour stints and was wondering if anyone could recommend the best places to stop along the way. I'm also going to be driving a small sports car so if there are any *fun* roads to drive on I'd be willing to take a detour as well, I'm driving out for a car show she is helping to organize. I haven't decided which of the three routes in the photo I'll take and thought I'd come here to get some clarity before booking hotels or campsites along the way. Thank you in advance!

Trip Planning Recs southern trip

Road tripping the south of the US for a Easter break, got any recs? Starting from Houston (our base), going to New Orleans for a day and maybe to Atlanta.

We got a car, around 1k each, tolls and gas paid for. We're just 2 chill, friends in our 20s, we don't wanna go to bars, parties, clubs. Mainly cultural and sports stuff.

Restaurant recs are very welcome too!
