driving america
 
always been a dream untill now. October 4th 2010 i plan to fly to LA and drive america in a mustang or dodge charger. there is going to be a hell of a lot of planning invovled as i want to see what the real america is all about.

has anyone ever done this? i have loads research sites im reading and would be good to even hook up with some american orgers!

any places for recommendation? i have a 21 day window to complete this trip.

I dont want to do much tourist areas, but will include memphis being a elvis fan!

Try looking thru' the HUBB, it's for adventure motorcyclists just like me ;o) but you'll probably get a few ideas from there.

Also, pop onto couchsurfing, set yourself a profile then when you go from x to y see if anyone in the area will give you a place to kip (and sometimes food) for free!

i think a simple hand gun would suffice, shotguns are too cumbersome, not particlarly accurate. but good as a deterrant
