So i am a little bored, so i thought i would fill yall in and get some advice. Me and my cousin bought a RV about 2 months ago and are going on a roadtrip with it. we have been planning this out for about 8 months now. We are leaving on Jan. 2, 2008. and we are leaving from chicago with 4 additional friends and driving to vegas. we will actually be in vegas for 3 days and then they are all flying home, and just my cousin and myself will be carrying on.
We plan on then driving to SanFransico from vegas and just working our way down the coast, through arizona and texas, hanging out in New Orleans for mardi gras, then just slowly working around the gulf, into GA, and then into florida in time for the Daytona 500 and Daytona beach for spring break. The plan is for this to all take about 2.5 months and get back home (chicago) sometime around March 17th.
We figure an oppurtunity for this to happen will not present itself for awhile if we do not do this now. I am turning 21 tom. and my cousin is currently 21, so we want to do this now since we are now both legal to drink, and it is before we have real jobs/commitments.
so basically i am wanting to know where are some cool/interesting/fun places to stop along the way. i have never been west of the mississippi river, so this is all very exciting to me. of course money is def. an object of concern so cheap/free things to see and do would be awsome. put it this way, any idea is of benefit because i have never even seen mountains.
and of course here is what we are traveling in.
1985 GMC leisurecraft. it is 27ft. long and only has 30,000 miles on it.

thanks a lot
Steve
