Default Prior Planning Prevents

The 6 P's "Prior Planning Prevents **** Poor Procedure"! My First Seargent R.A. Johnson U.S. Army use to say that all the time and I have to say I have used it with 3 kids and lived by it ever since I first heard it back in 1970.

Now here's the Plan I am thinking about taking a couple of weeks early next summer and going across country. If any of y'all have any advice or if any of you have gone across before I'm interested in hearing sage advice.

Just gonna be my wife and myself and we're curious if any of y'all have any input for either rider or passenger.

Just beginning to plan.

Thanks

Omigosh, I hope you realize you just crushed everyone who's been reviewing their shop/garage spaces the past few days. You just raised the bar!


Ok, seriously... 'comfort'... since it's the two of you, plan around being able to have some cool creature comforts & luxuries along the way.

Yeah, whatever on the basement, it's heated and I had a motorcyle drive put in up the back side of the yard so I can get in and out but it is probably like everyone else's basement, got crap in it from years past and tools on the other side. Just cleaned out a "Harley area" for meditation time before I ride then go!

Actually as we are in the first stages of planning any and all advice is most appreciated. We are thinking we can take back roads to the Mississippi and use expressway out west. My wife has gone across nine times in her lifetime but this'll be the first for me.
