Sometimes Pennsylvania feels like another country to us New Jersey folk.. :lol:

With so much to see in the USA, I doubt if I will ever venture past it's borders.

I'm with parnold, the USA is probably it. Maybe Canada.

Just the US, but all over it. We were planning a trip to Mexico with other teardroppers, but that fell thru.

Haven't crossed the border yet, but headed to AK soon and that means travel through Canada :D As for anywhere else... maybe Mexico someday :thinking:

I wouldn't mind driving thru Canada to Tok, Alaska to visit family. Then head down to Anchorage to visit more family.
Going to need more money than I have now to do that.

That's the only way to travel. 4 to 5 hours driving time a day only. Need time to look around and enjoy. I guess that's one reason it takes me so long to get anywhere. :) I'm always on teardrop time. ;)

I agree, Gage! And we do whenever possible...but you know how that thing called "work" gets in the way sometimes...okay, more often than not for us...not an issue for you, however. :R

Good to see you on the forum...wish we could come out & visit you & Tanaya at the IRG this year but it wasn't in the cards. :fb Maybe I need to get me some new cards... :thinking: :lol:

That's the way I plan to travel when I leave here next week. Sort of a round-a bout trip to the west coast, up to Alaska and then back across British Columbia on the way back home. Hope to stretch this out to about 4 months :D

I plan on three longs days of driving to get to wyoming. I probably won't make it to Pinedale, but I want to at least get to eastern Wyoming. Last year I made it to the Indiana gathering in one day, so I'm no stranger to 12 hour drives. Do I like em.. no, but how much can you enjoy cornfields. :roll:

Once there, I'll have four days to relax, and then another eight to get back home the slower "teardrop" way via Jackson, Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, Devil's Tower, and the Crazy Horse Memorial.

Interesting town and it's close to Mt Rushmore. :thumbsup:

And Jeff, if you get close to SoCal, be sure to whistle and we'll try and meet up somewhere. ;)

Gage, the closest I'll get to you will be Death Valley or Sequoia :( But if you do make it to LCG this year, we will almost be neighbors :D

Hey Jeff
If you are close to the Okanagan Valley while traveling thru BC, drop in for a visit.
Lots of room here for a teardrop campout.
