State Guides Done!

It has taken many months of research on the internet, in books, speaking to people (sometimes even random people on a train) but we have finally completed our pre-trip research for each state we are visiting (all 48 lower states).

Why have we done this research? Asides from me being a planner at heart and not able to do anything without a to do list, spreadsheet and action tracker, we wanted to reduce the research time on the road (more time to enjoy the sights around us rather than planning ahead) and ensure we were able to hit all the key sights we wanted to see. We also needed to be sure we could make it around within 6 months so needed some idea of where we need to be at certain times to make this possible.

A quick reference guide is below of each of the State Guides on the blog. The next time we will be writing about these states will be on the road! Click on the state name to be taken to the blog entry.

For anyone looking to plan a road trip, we would recommend using www.furkot.com, it is a free online road trip planning tool and has been key to helping us plan our trip.
