Hi All,
Looking to plan a 4-5 week April/May trip starting in SNH and looking for input on routes, places to stop and time.
The only specific goal is Hamilton Branch State Park in SC (+1000 miles) to spend time camping with my brother - something like Rt 84 to Rt 81 to Rt 77 to Rt 20.
Plan on stopping every 300+/- miles for 3 nights - 1st night arrival, 2 days/nights for sightseeing, etc then hitting the road the following morning.
The length of each stay can vary depending things to do/see or want to spend more time at some other place (also trying to limit travel days since will still be working remote).
On the way to SC:
1st 300mi gets me to the general area of the Delaware State Forest
2nd 300mi to the general area north of Shenandoah National Park
3rd 300mi to the general area north of Charlotte
Last travel day a little less than 200mi to HBSP (could spend 4-5 days there)
On the route home would like to head up to Moore SC area for a couple of days then by Nashville, then possibly thru Kentucky, Ohio/West Virginia, then, if time allows, Western PA and Upstate NY (Niagra Falls maybe). Finally back thru VT and then home.
Would like to spend majority of nights in Boondocking/Harvest Host (maybe CoE, National or State Parks) type sites and only using a full service Campground once or twice a week to discharge, recharge and relax in more luxury
.
Activities could include (historic) sightseeing, hiking (real mountains if available), bicycling (road or easy mountain), day tripping on my motorcycle, kayaking... And maybe even a round of memorable golf somewhere in there.
So, looking for recommendations of places to stay/visit along that route (approximate and more flexible on the return from SC) and thoughts on whether something like this could be done in 5 weeks or so. Is this something that I could also use RV Trip Wizard for this type of planning ?
Thanks !
Peter
