I’m thinking the last 2 weeks in July and first week in August from MN to the Grand Canyon north loop and then the way back take a much more southern loop taking me all the way over to Louisiana. Ever done a trip that big before?

Did MS to west texas to long route through New Mexico to Ouray last summer back through New Mexico white sands and all back to MS after hitting a bunch of bbq spots in texas both ways.

Trying to figure out a similar trip up to Yellowstone or glacier at the moment.

Planning an August 3-week trip on the Trans America Trail from TN to Moab and back using a northern route. The Trans America Trail is the slow way to cross the US using (almost) entirely dirt roads. No pavement.

I had quite a few planned for this summer but those are going to have to be put on th back burner now until these gas prices come back down hopefully.

I was wondering this same thing the other day about a trip to southern Utah. A friend said, "in 5 years you will remember the trip, not the gas prices."

This is why I ordered a Gladiator instead of a Maverick hybrid - 20 years from now my kids will remember the rides to school with the top and doors off. (and I need to tow a boat occasionally).
