Yes I will be and might even be staying there for the night depending on if I try and turn a three day trip into two!

Here is the approximate trip I just mapped out. We did a lot of "off path" stuff so it will come in more.

Do you do all the driving or do you have help?
Our kid lives in New Hampshire now and I thought it would be cool to drive the motorhome there but it's like 3000 miles each way. My wife doesn't drive so it would take us 4 days or so each way having to stop for me to rest. Also the fuel bill would be over 2000 bucks (probably more like 3000).

Yeah it's definitely not the most economical way to travel. It's about the adventure, especially with four kids. Take your time and map out a slower trip if work allows. I do all the driving and my wife handles all the crazies in the cab.

I'll second that, I could have stayed in a Hotel and only spend a third of what it costs to camp at the track, but I'm not complaining. It's all about the camping, cooking outside, partying, and not having to worry about getting to Hotel after drinking all day. ;)

Shhhhhh. I don't want a mutiny on board. There's a reason no firearms are allowed on ships. We definitely pack on our trips and glad we do, especially through the sites in eastern Arizona where it's all Indian land where you camp. More on that with the end-trip summary.

Mornin view. Canadians next to us. We were wondering all night what that smell was.
