Our 2022 Music Cities Tour




On or about June 1, we'll be departing on our Music Cities Tour. Our travels will take us to:
We'll also be stopping at many other smaller cities along the way. Most of our itinerary will be made up as we go along.  We'll be over-nighting in "boondocking" fashion, staying  at places of opportunity along the way (Walmarts, etc). We have all the amenities needed to keep us comfortable, including central AC and heat, shower, full size 4-door fridge and a full modern kitchen. We have lots of battery power, an 8500 watt generator, 100 gallons of water and 100 gallons of diesel fuel. We also have satellite TV and cellular broadband data with an internal WiFi network. 

We'll stay at a few campgrounds as necessary to empty our holding tanks, re-fill our water tank and do laundry loads bigger than what our on-board washing machine holds. We'll probably also go to a campground for stays longer than one overnight. We'll be towing our Jeep Liberty so we'll have car transportation wherever we go. We plan to be on the road 3-4 weeks. Our tentative route looks like this


and will encompass about 3,500 miles on the motorhome and more on the Jeep.

We haven't been able to do this annual outing for the last 2 years, so we're looking forward to this one. Assuming nothing derails the trip, I plan to post a daily update to this blog with photos and narrative every day.

    While you are down near New Orleans check out Shucks Restaurant in Abbeville, I had the best shrimp of my life there. Also, be sure to visit Rayne LA, it used to be the frog capital of the world. Most businesses lining the streets have a frog statue in front, each dressed differently, quite a site.

We arrived here a little before 3pm local time (4pm Eastern time). Here's a link to our present location. 1000 miles from home and almost 1/2 way across America. We got plugged into AC and cable TV and just chilled for a while. The local Papa John's delivers to camp sites, so we ordered a pizza. Tomorrow we plan to see the famous St Louis arch and then the Anheiser Busch brewery and Clydesdale horse stables. We might also take in the St Louis train station and the nearby Lewis and Clark historic site. Hope to post some good pictures tomorrow. Also planning to get a good local BBQ dinner while here.

Our 2022 Music Cities Motorhome Trip

D-Day Tuesday is "D Day" (Departure Day). Today, we'll do a preliminary food shopping trip and begin to load the motorhome with our clothes and other supplies. Tomorrow, we plan to leave about noon. We'll stop at the Allentown service plaza on the Turnpike to buy enough diesel to get us to Bloomsburg where we can top off the fuel tank at a better price. Our first overnight stop will be at the  Clearfield, PA Walmart where we'll buy whatever we need to continue the trip then on to Mansfield, OH on Wednesday. Our plan is to drive 3 hours or less per day, with our first major destination being St Louis. Once we cross into Ohio, diesel fuel will be over a dollar less expensive per gallon and even less as we get into the heartland and the South, so we'll stop more frequently to top off. We neeed to keep the fuel tank at least 1/2 full so we can run the diesel generator into the night if necessary to keep the AC going. Overall, we'll be out for at least 20 days,...
