Take that right turn at Los Angeles and come visit us here in the 50th state, Hawaii. Its still a state right? You can go down to
Papakōlea (green sand beach), drive up Mauna Kea, or go down Waipio Valley. But my guess is that Hawaii was not on your itinerary:).
Well this trip starts with us moving off of Kauai... No need to turn right at Los Angeles. We are already here. :) We have spent plenty of time on some of the most amazing beaches Hawaii has to offer. Polihale is our favorite.

Aloha from the Garden state... Are you getting one too?
Eventually. You know Big Island (where I am) has lots of fun places to explore. A nice 4wd can get me and the family to some of the best beaches and down south point for some great fishing. I am originally from Philly. Where in Dirty Jersey are you located?

WA - Ferry to Vancouver (was a good idea)


There is NO ferry from WA State to Vancouver...INTO Victoria, YES, and then you would need to take another to get off the island (unless there is a kick ass snorkel involved) but not the Mainland...just drive on up the I-5.

WA State ferry - Anacortes to Sydney (20 miles north of Victoria)
COHO (private company) from Pt. Angeles into Victoria Harbour) - yes, we spell it with a freaking 'u'

have a great adventure - lots of logging roads in that part of the world to explore.

Good point...

SO these are the things we will be looking to check out in each state:

So far we have Things like:

AZ - Grand Canyon / Music Museum
UT - Moab
FL - Underground Cave (Swimming)
WA - Ferry to Vancouver (was a good idea)
AK - We would like to see or do Camp Under the Northern Lights
WY - Grand Tetons / (multistate yellowstone



We are going to be looking for places to camp in each state too, but places that are not too crazy or hard to get too, we dont want to do a 2 - 3 day wheeling trip to camp spot.... Single Day trip will work, better yet if we meet up with local wheeling group also a plus

We do not want to see: fishing, biggest ball of twine, freeway, railroad, old road, stage coach routes, baseball parks, horse racing, amusement parks, Guinness book, car shows, 4th of July parades, natural disasters, bee migration routes, birding, romance, movie locations, stragglers, bootleggers, government towns

Things we want to see: Ghost Towns if any, Day trip Wheeling Spots, route 66, MTN's, Valleys, Lakes, places like Vegas, Austin, Lake Travis, Gold mining towns etc. We want to be able to take wheeling routes if any along the way..

This is still work in progress, so we are open to idea's!.....
If you're serious then I would start to get some sort of googleDoc/slide going for everyone.

I'm in San Diego and if you're interested in Hiking then I'll tell you everyone loves Potatoe Chip Rock (Ramona). If you're interested in wheeling you might have to consult some facebook groups for local areas, or websites like https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/black-mountain-truck-trail

we do plan on using all trails, that program seems to have the best up to date trails here in the USA vs some others....

50 states in 50 days will be a monumental task.

You’ll spend all of your time driving from dawn to dusk....
