    Awesome trip. I’m gonna get some big ticket maintenance items done on our 570 and do something similar this summer. Probably Moab.

    Next time plan on 65N to Nashville and taking 40 back. Safe travels!

    Yeah it gets pretty nasty here in March with the winds. Hopefully you'll be home by Sunday, the forecasted winds are 60mph for here. Let me know if you need anything while you're passing thru

    There is always something about the open sea and sunset that just makes me happy...
    I miss the sea, need to plan a trip from TX to Yosemite, my old backyard....

    4,750 miles later - we’re back home. We fast-tracked the end to get back for my daughter’s softball game. Trip of a lifetime.

    What drone/setup was used to capture these photos? I really dig it & curious on your experience so far with it.

    Odd question for @AZBoatHauler: For such a long trip, what seating/cargo arrangement worked best for you guys?

    We usually have one side of the 3rd row down so our kids can spread out (two in the middle row; one in the 3rd). Suitcases behind the 3rd row and beside where the other half of the 3rd row seat is stowed vertically.

    This is awesome. Like you, I always push for longer days to get home sooner. I feel like the kids appreciate that as the excitement of the beginning of the trip isn't pushing them anymore and all they want to do is get out of the car.

    Many thanks for allowing us to following along on your journey. Welcome back home.

    Exactly this. My 11 year old son rode in the back the entire time and was happy to have his own space. Divider down in the middle is a lifesaver.

    Mavic Air 2. Love it. Want an upgrade but haven’t been able to justify the cost.

    Try the chopped brisket sandwich and it’ll all make sense.

    Also cleanest restrooms and friendliest staff of any company I’ve encountered which is always refreshing after a long drive.

    I have yet to have any of the food they make in store because I haven't been in person, but hear that there is a large variety and it's all really good. What I have had is their packaged stuff people send me and it is awesome. Beaver Nuggets and jerky FTW!

    It’s like a world class BBQ restaurant, Costco, Tractor Supply, and QT combined.

    I did have some peppered jerky that was really good and a different flavor of beaver nuggets a few times. Cinnamon sugar is the best fyi.

    Thanks for helping me understand the hype. I know I can be fairly cynical, and having never even heard of one, I was asking myself why people are going out of the way to go to these. If I ever see one on a road trip I'll have to check it out for myself.

    The restrooms are unreal. Worth the hassle alone.

    Not where I visited - but the majority were in fairly remote areas.
