Hi Lifers,
I'm planning on doing a Dallas to Minneapolis trip to visit some friends and deciding to make a trip out of it. I have about 7-8 days of travel i can do and wanted some recommendations on "Must visit" locations along the way or nearby. Some of the cities and states i'll be near include:
- Oklahoma
- Kansas City and Kansas
- Iowa, West Nebraska
- Maybe Chicago?
- Dakotas
- Wisconsin
- Anything good in Ontario, Canada?
I'm looking for anything urban, off-road, sightseeing or touristy.
My other question has to do with gear. I'm fairly well equipment for most scenic and mild trails so that's not a concern, but i would like to make sleeping in the jeep easier and more comfortable.
I've tried the queen size air mattress and it's not working for me. Anyone know of custom sized mattresses of any type or products that helps sleeping in the jeep easier? I've been eyeballing the ursa minor J30, but at the price i don't think i'm ready to jump into that. Might as well just get 100 nights worth of motels compared to paying 6k to sleep on my roof.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: it'll be late May if that changes anything!
