I can see map now.
I like the idea of camping a few and moteling a night . Theres only so much a guy can put up with if you have a hot dusty day , or a cold wet day. Most of the RV camping places will have showers.
I also don't plan a lot so a rough idea at night where to be is close enough. Your on vacation and need to be flexible.

"Personally, I don't usually plan out my daily distances and destinations much. I prefer to just ride and as the day progresses figure out where to stay the night. Sometimes its a roadside stop, sometimes a camp ground, sometimes a motel."

Just be aware of the Bear situation and stay where locals say is safe.

This works for me. Last year I rode with a guy in Alaska who had to have the nights destination figured out every morning and it drove me up the wall. Cause it doesn't take into account break downs, unexpected side trips, road construction which there will be a lot up there. And then it puts you under stress to get to a certain destination.
I understand having to do it if your on the guided rides like Joe B has done with having to all get up at a certain time and be at a certain place at night because of reservations.
We'll see how life progresses for us with work and in general. It would be cool to be able to do this.
