As much as I love the west, we are a little bit history deprived out this way. My brother in law and I are interested in things military and so we intend to make a trip up the eastern most States this spring, providing gas isn't out of sight.
We plan to meet in Lubbock, Texas the first of April and follow US 84 east. In the Savannah, Ga area we will turn north and look at mostly historical stuff to about the Scranton, Pa area and from there head back west on US 20 if the weather permits around the end of April, otherwise find a more southerly route.
We plan to avoid urban areas and interstate highways as much as possible, and would like to see a lot of the more mountainous areas.
Any help you guys could offer concerning what we can expect weather wise, places we need to see, places that are mot worth the trouble, etc. would be appreciated. We till be traveling in a couple of pickups one with a medium size bumper pull trailer and the other with a pop-up camper.
Don't intend to do any shooting along the way, so the only firearm I intend to take will be a 12 ga. coach gun. I figure this is the gun that will probably cause me the least heartburn traveling through places where the laws may be unkind to the gun owner. We intend to go into the Boston area for instance, because I've always wanted to see the USS Constitution, but I expect pretty drastic gun rules there.
Advice will be appreciated
