Enthusiast III
Greetings!
So lets start with some background!
Currently at the age of 28, the wife and I have been married for 8 years. Our first 6 years of marriage was while I was in the Marine Corps. Unfortunately, due to lack of funds or me being away, the wife and I have never actually been able to travel nor have a vacation. After I got out of the Marine Corps, wife decided to due something different and joined the Coast Guard. Now that she is finally finishing her current training, we are going to be sent back to her home state of Florida. I was previously stationed in Southern California and we have done a cross country trip but it was all just to get to our destination. Fortunately, our upcoming trip in November/December, we should have nearly a month of travel! We need help!
I currently have a 1999 Montero. I put a lot of maintenance work into it from redoing the front suspension and having some engine maintenance done. The Monty isn't up to par for a full on Overlanding adventure due to gear which is acceptable at this time as we plan on doing lots of hwy miles with some outdoors adventure trails while not going to extreme.
Going from Eureka, CA to Opa Locka, FL;
Sights to see is Death Valley, Moab, Grand Canyon, Cadillac Ranch. We want to go through Colorado as well. What are some suggestions? What states should we cross? What sights and where to go?
Usal beach in CA was one I have been wanting to go but I figured at this time of the year it would have been a bad idea. I am trying to avoid vehicle casualties.
Oh yea, we plan on blogging this.
