On April 3rd I will depart from Florida on a six month road trip across the United States, camping the entire time. What guy hasn't wanted to take such a trip...in a Jeep no less?
I'll be writing a book about the experience (funny how we writers write books about everything we do), which will include such things as detailed research prior to the trip (roads, points of interest, campsites, equipment, etc), the places I go, the people I encounter, the experiences I have, etc.
I want it to be sort of a "how to" guide for road tripping and I'd like it to inspire people to take their own road trips to see what we have to offer here in America. I also want to make the book entertaining to read through humor...not a dry "go here and see this" book.
My questions for you all are...
1. What type of things would you like to read about in a book such as this?
2. What type of places would you be interested in finding out more about (parks, trails, monuments, cemetaries)?
3. For those of you who are road trip kings and queens, what would have have liked to know before heading out?
4. For those of you who've never taken a road trip, what would inspire you to buy a book such as this one and get you interested in hoping in your car and putting foot to pedal for a week or so?
THANKS! I'm looking forward to hearing what you all have to say about this.
