Re: Comfortable daily mileage for transam trip?
I learned a lesson on my cross country run
if you drive until 5-6 you may not find a motel that has vacancies
two years ago we came down from washington and tried to find a room in central oregon about 4 pm,none and they dont post No Vacancy signs there ,so you have to go into each motel and ask for a room
we had to drive almost 100 miles to find the last vacancy
and if that one happened to be full it was 90 miles to the next town ,with no guarantee of a room there either
I always started at the latest 6 AM and drove til 11 or so and looked for a place to eat,around 3 PM than search for a room
then sight see
thats part of the fun
as Rusty says 50 is very scenic
here i was on "the loneliest stretch of highway in the US"
somewhere near Ely Nevada on the Lincoln Highway
there was nothing but desert in all directions for a hundred miles
