I am planning a tour that will probably not be fully underway for at least another year after I have retired from my current job. Portions of the tour will begin within two or three months once my new recumbent trike is built. I will be travel to all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and a few provinces in Canada. The bike I have designed will allow me to travel fully self-contained.
I am at the point now where I will begin to lay out my route including places to visit, routes to take, etc., and while I have a global view of what I want to do, I am looking for advice from the members of the forum on great routes to take, places to visit in each of the places mentioned. In making suggestions to me, keep in mind that I am an architect and an environmentalist, and my interests are quite varied including a strong interest in history. Notwithstanding my age, terrain does not intimidate me. A part of the trip I have already planned includes traversing the Oregon trail and exploring the Ozarks (which has some of the roughest terrain I have ever driven in a car, and that includes the Alps and most of the western U.S. mountain ranges).
Thanks, in advance. 🙂 Oh, once the tentative route has been set up I will set up a web site, or set up a journal at an existing site, so people can follow my progress.
[A similar posting will also be on the recumbent website.]
