We may be traveling from Colorado Springs, CO to Eugene, OR. Does anyone have knowledge of the condition of US Route 20 in Oregon. Is this a good road? Google maps shows some very curvy sections of the highway. We will be pulling a travel trailer out and a 5th wheel back. Would like to know if this is a good r...

I can see why some just stay in a place for a week or 2. We may need to curb our program in the future..

Anybody have any suggestions on the best route to take in an RV to go from Eureka, Ca to Yosemite, Ca? 101 south seems nice but I'm concerned about the traffic & best route passing through the whole Sacramento / San Francisco area. Also, although I'm interested mainly in getting from point A to poin...

We are staying in Moab for 2 weeks right now and plan to head to Torrey Utah next to experience Capital Reef, then Bryce and then Zion. Time is of no concern to us but don't need to hang around an area a bunch more than needed to tour it so my question is, How much time is needed to experience each spot?

For those of you in other parts of the country, if you have any rain, please, please send it out to the west coast. We came through southern Oregon today and the smoke is so bad you couldn't see Mt. Shasta (or any other mountains) because of all of the smoke. Medford, Or, looked like it has fog - but it was j...

We want to go from Rock Springs, WY on I-80 to Grand Junction on I-70. Has anyone traveled Highway 191 to Vernal, then Highway 64 to Highway 139? We drive a 40ft. Motorhome with a Jeep tow. Any advice / tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm going to nominate I-40 from Flagstaff to Kingman as one of the Highways from Hell!

The road is almost as bad as I-10 from New Orleans to the Texas state line. We came across Friday and it is awful, at least the west travel section. Road really, really needs a lot of work. Barb
